dignities
Marks of rank
Dignities is the plural of dignity, referring to multiple instances of the quality of being worthy of honor or respect.
It often appears in contexts involving formal honors, privileges, or high offices: the dignities of the church, all the dignities and responsibilities of the position.
The phrase beneath one's dignities is sometimes used humorously to suggest multiple standards of self-respect being violated at once.
