Webster's 1828 Dictionary

PLURAL

a.[L. pluralis, from plus, pluris, more. ] 1. Containing more than one; consisting of two or more, or designating two or more; as a plural word.
2. In grammar, the plural number is that which designates more than one, that is, any number except one. Thus in most languages, a word in the plural number expresses two or more. But the Greek has a dual number to express two; and the plural expresses more than two.

 

PLURALIST

n.A clerk or clergyman who holds more ecclesiastical benefices than one, with cure of souls.

 

PLURALITY

n.[L. pluralis.] 1. A number consisting of two or more of the same kind; as a plurality of gods; a plurality of worlds.
2. A state of being or having a greater number.
3. In elections, a plurality of votes is when one candidate has more votes than any other, but less than half of the whole number of votes given. It is thus distinguished from a majority, which is more than half of the whole number.
4. Plurality of benefices, is where the same clerk is possessed of more benefices than one, with cure of souls. In this case, each benefice thus held is called a plurality.

 

PLURALLY

adv. In a sense implying more than one.

DERIVATIVES plu ral ly adverb ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French plurel or Latin pluralis, from plus, plur- ‘more. ’ usage: 1 An apostrophe may be used to form the plural of letters ( r's ) and numbers ( 7's ), as well as single words referred to themselves ( four the's in one sentence ). It should not be used to form plurals of ordinary nouns: four apples, not four apple's. 2 The regular plurals of abbreviations and acronyms may be spelled by simply adding an s: CDs, MiGs. They may also, especially if periods are involved, employ an apostrophe: D.D.S.'s. 3 The plurals of proper names typically end in s or es, never with an apostrophe: the Smiths, the Joneses, the Rosses. See also usage at apostrophe 1 .
