triggerings
Acts of initiating
Triggerings refers to instances of setting something off or activating it.
The word appears in technical contexts—the triggerings of alarms throughout the building—and in psychological ones, where it describes instances of provoking emotional distress: repeated triggerings of her anxiety.
The plural is uncommon; most contexts prefer the singular or verbal forms.
