Origin & History

“Pluralizing” is the present participle form of the verb “pluralize”, which comes from “plural” (from Latin “pluralis”, meaning “relating to more than one”) plus the verb-forming suffix “-ize”.

"Pluralizing" क्रिया "pluralize" का वर्तमान कृदंत रूप है, जो "plural" से आया है (लैटिन "pluralis" से, जिसका अर्थ है "एक से अधिक से संबंधित"), और इसमें क्रिया बनाने वाला प्रत्यय "-ize" जोड़ा गया है।

Definition

The word “pluralizing” refers to making a word or idea plural, i.e., changing it so that it refers to more than one person, thing, or instance, and by extension can also mean multiplying or making something manifold.

“Pluralizing” शब्द किसी शब्द या अवधारणा को बहुवचन बनाना, अर्थात उसे इस प्रकार बदलना कि वह एक से अधिक व्यक्ति, वस्तु या उदाहरण का बोध कराए; और व्यापक अर्थ में किसी वस्तु या स्थिति को अनेक या बहुविध बना देना भी हो सकता है।
