Expediencies

/ɪkˈspiːdɪənsiz/ noun

Definition

Multiple instances or examples of preferring what is practical and convenient over what is morally right or principled.

Etymology

An alternate plural form of 'expedience' using the -ies suffix, which is the standard way English pluralizes nouns ending in -ence/-ency.

Kelly Says

English gives us both 'expediences' and 'expediencies' as plurals, but 'expediencies' sounds more formal and is more commonly used in serious discussions about moral compromise.
