Feasances

/ˈfiːzənsəz/ noun

Definition

Plural of feasance; multiple instances of performing duties or executing contracts.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'feasance,' formed by adding the standard plural suffix '-es.' Legal terminology often maintains these Latinate plural forms.

Kelly Says

This plural almost never appears in actual legal documents because lawyers prefer the clearer compounds like 'malfeasances' (wrongful acts) or 'misfeasances' (improper execution)—the root noun without a prefix became too ambiguous to use.
