prestiges
Marks of distinction
Prestiges is the plural of prestige, referring to multiple instances of reputation, standing, or influence derived from success or achievement.
The plural is uncommon because prestige usually functions as an uncountable noun—you have prestige, not prestiges.
When it does appear, it typically refers to the distinct reputations of different entities: The prestiges of various European universities vary by field.
