Greeds

/ɡriːdz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of greed; multiple instances or types of excessive desires, or the greedy acts of different people.

Etymology

From the noun 'greed,' formed by adding the standard English plural suffix '-s' to indicate more than one instance of the quality.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, we rarely pluralize abstract nouns like 'greed'—we usually say 'acts of greed' instead—so 'greeds' appearing in text signals that someone is treating different greedy behaviors as separate, countable things.
