surrenderings
Acts of yielding
Surrenderings is the plural of surrendering, the gerund or present participle of surrender used as a noun.
It refers to multiple acts or instances of giving up, yielding, or relinquishing control, possession, or resistance.
The word appears rarely, as surrendering itself already functions as an uncountable noun in most contexts: The army's surrendering was inevitable.
When pluralized, it emphasizes distinct, separate occasions of capitulation or submission: History records many surrenderings of besieged cities.
