Sales with steep discounts
Clearances is the plural of clearance, covering its various senses.
A clearance is permission or authorization, especially official approval to access classified information: He finally got his security clearances.
It also means the space between objects—the gap allowing passage: Check the clearances under the bridge.
A clearance sale offers goods at reduced prices to move inventory: The store advertised holiday clearances.
