Endangerments

/ɪnˈdeɪndʒərməts/ noun

Definition

Plural of endangerment; instances or acts of putting something or someone in danger or risk.

Etymology

From endanger (to put in danger) + -ment (result of action) + -s (plural). The suffix -ment transforms a verb into a noun representing the state or result of the action, while -s makes it plural.

Kelly Says

The plural form 'endangerments' appears most often in legal language, where prosecutors list specific counts of how a defendant put someone at risk, turning an abstract concept into countable legal violations.
