Plural of dotation; multiple dowries, endowments, or institutional grants.
Standard plural of 'dotation', maintaining Latin-derived structure with English pluralization.
This plural form appears frequently in historical documents discussing multiple marriages or university endowments, making it useful in academic and legal historical writing.
Plural form carries same etymological and historical association with dowry systems and gendered property transfer, though institutional dotations (especially convents) provided women with rare economic autonomy.
Context-dependent: use for historical institutional analysis; prefer 'endowments' or 'grants' for contemporary non-dowry contexts.

Women religious controlled extensive dotations that funded education, healing, and learning—resources largely unavailable to women in secular institutions.
