breadths
Measures of width
Breadths is the plural of breadth, the measurement of something from side to side—its width.
A tailor might need several breadths of fabric to complete a garment.
The word extends to scope or range: the breadths of human experience, the breadths of their knowledge.
Less common than the singular form.
