consumptions
Acts of using up
Consumptions is the plural of consumption, referring to multiple instances or types of using up resources.
The word appears in technical contexts discussing different categories: energy consumptions across sectors, water consumptions by region.
In older medical usage, consumptions referred to wasting diseases, particularly tuberculosis, though this sense is now historical.
