Expediences

/ɪkˈspiːdɪənsɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural form; multiple instances of things done for convenience or advantage rather than principle.

Etymology

Plural of 'expedience,' formed by adding the standard English plural suffix -es to the singular noun form.

Kelly Says

The plural reminds us that people often rationalize multiple convenient choices—each 'expedience' piles up until convenience becomes a pattern of cutting corners.
