amazements

States of awe

Amazements is the plural of amazement, referring to multiple instances of overwhelming surprise or wonder.

The word appears rarely, since amazement typically functions as an uncountable noun describing a state rather than discrete experiences: The circus offered amazements at every turn.

When it does appear, it often has a literary or archaic flavor.
