dilutions
Solutions made weaker
Dilutions is the plural of dilution—the act of making something weaker or less concentrated by adding liquid, or the resulting weakened mixture.
In chemistry and medicine, serial dilutions progressively reduce concentration: The lab prepared dilutions of the sample at 1:10, 1:100, and 1:1000.
Figuratively, dilutions weaken strength or impact: successive dilutions of the original proposal.
