Dormancies

/dɔːrˈmeɪnsiz/ noun

Definition

The plural of dormancy; plural states of being inactive, asleep, or temporarily suspended in function or development.

Etymology

From Latin dormire (to sleep) plus -ancy suffix meaning state or condition. Dormancy developed in biological contexts to describe seeds and organisms in suspended animation.

Kelly Says

Seeds can sleep for decades in perfect dormancy, waiting for the exact right conditions—it's nature's way of saying 'not yet' to growth!
