safekeepings
Acts of guarding
Safekeepings is the plural of safekeeping, the act of protecting something valuable from loss, theft, or damage.
The plural is uncommon since safekeeping typically functions as an abstract noun: She left the documents in his safekeeping.
When pluralized, it usually refers to distinct instances or arrangements of protective custody: The bank offers various safekeepings for different asset types.
