Concurrencies

/kənˈkɜːrənsiːz/ plural

Definition

Multiple states or instances of concurrence; simultaneous occurrences or agreements (alternative plural form).

Etymology

A variant or alternative plural of concurrence using the -ies ending, which became productive in English but concurrences is the standard modern plural. This variant may reflect older English pluralization patterns or regional usage.

Kelly Says

This alternate plural form is a linguistic fossil—modern English prefers 'concurrences,' but 'concurrencies' shows how English speakers in the past were still experimenting with how to pluralize these complex Latin-derived nouns with multiple possible endings.
