Pronunciation: [dɪfˈe͡ɪmɪŋz] (IPA) 
The word "defamings" is spelled with the root word "defame" and the suffix "-ings." The IPA phonetic transcription of "defamings" is /dɪˈfeɪ.mɪŋz/. The stress is on the second syllable, and the final sound is a voiced "z" sound. The suffix "-ings" is often added to verbs to form nouns, indicating an action or process. Thus, "defamings" would suggest the act or process of defaming someone or something.
The word "defamings" is derived from the verb "defame". The etymology of "defame" can be traced back to the Latin word "diffamare", which means "to spread evil reports, defame, disgrace". This Latin term is a combination of "dis-" (indicating negation or reversal) and "fama" (meaning "reputation" or "fame"). Over time, the word "defame" was formed in English and eventually gave rise to the noun "defamation" and its plural form "defamations". Hence, "defamings" refers to multiple instances or acts of defaming, which is the action of damaging someone's reputation through false or malicious statements.
