Plural of climax; the highest points or most intense moments of multiple events, stories, or situations.
From climax (Greek klimax, 'ladder') plus the plural suffix -es. Climax can be both noun and verb, so climaxes serves as both plural noun and third-person singular verb.
The plural 'climaxes' is interesting because it can mean multiple peak moments—like how a symphony might have several climaxes building to the final one!
