sealings
Making things watertight
Sealings is the plural of sealing, which names the act or process of closing something securely—making it airtight, watertight, or otherwise impervious: The sealings on these jars need to be checked before storage.
The word also refers to the hunting of seals, though that sense rarely appears in plural form.
