bondings
Acts of uniting
Bondings is the plural of bonding, which refers to instances or processes of forming close connections.
In psychology and parenting, bonding describes the emotional attachment that develops between people, especially between parent and child: The hospital encouraged early bondings between mothers and newborns.
In chemistry and dentistry, bondings are procedures that join materials together.
The plural form emphasizes distinct episodes or types of connection rather than bonding as a general phenomenon.
