fallings
Acts of descending
Fallings is the plural of falling, used as a noun for instances or acts of descending.
The word appears most often in compounds: fallings-out (quarrels or estrangements), fallings-off (declines or deteriorations).
On its own, fallings might describe multiple drops or descents: the fallings of leaves in autumn, though this usage is uncommon.
