condensations
Moisture on cold glass
Condensations is the plural of condensation, covering its various senses.
In physics, condensation is the process by which gas or vapor becomes liquid—water droplets forming on a cold glass are condensation.
The word also means a shortened version of a longer text: Reader's Digest was famous for its condensations of popular novels.
More abstractly, a condensation is any compression of something diffuse into denser form.
