Enfeeblements

/ɪnˈfiːbəlmənts/ noun

Definition

Plural of enfeeblement; multiple instances or types of making something weak.

Etymology

Simple plural form of enfeeblement, adding the standard English plural suffix -s to indicate more than one weakening or act of weakening.

Kelly Says

The fact that we even need a plural suggests that weakening can happen in many different ways—historically, writers used this word to describe how multiple factors (war, plague, famine) might simultaneously weaken a nation.
