relativities
How things compare
Relativities is the plural of relativity, referring to multiple instances or aspects of relative states.
The word appears in physics when discussing Einstein's theories (special and general relativity), but more commonly in general contexts about comparative relationships: The relativities of power among the factions shifted constantly.
In British usage, pay relativities describes the proportional differences between wages in different jobs or industries.
