foundings
Acts of starting
Foundings is the plural of founding, referring to multiple acts of establishing or creating institutions, organizations, or settlements.
The word appears most often in historical or comparative contexts: The foundings of the original thirteen colonies spanned over a century.
Each founding marks a beginning—of a company, a city, a movement.
