Plural of guidance; multiple instances of help, direction, or advice given to guide someone.
From Old French guider plus -ance (meaning 'act of' or 'result of'), following the same pattern as other -ance nouns like 'allowance' or 'tolerance'.
Using the plural 'guidances' is rare in modern English because 'guidance' is already abstract and uncountable, but it appears in specialized contexts like education when discussing multiple distinct guidance interventions.
