Giantisms

/ˈdʒaɪəntɪzəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of giantism; multiple instances or types of the condition of abnormal gigantic growth, or multiple manifestations of giant-like qualities.

Etymology

Plural form of 'giantism', created by adding the regular English plural '-s' suffix. The singular 'giantism' itself is a variant of the medical term 'gigantism'.

Kelly Says

The plural form is especially rare because gigantism is typically discussed as a singular medical condition rather than multiple distinct phenomena, though metaphorically one might speak of different 'giantisms' across cultures or mythologies.
