plural of effort
"After weeks of relentless efforts to fix the leaky roof, the storm finally gave up and let us finish our repairs."
In plain English: Efforts are the hard work and energy you put into trying to do something.
"She put in many efforts to learn the new language before her trip."
Usage: Use the plural form "efforts" when referring to multiple attempts or actions taken by a person or group to achieve a specific goal. It is incorrect to use "efforts" as a singular noun; in that case, you must use the singular word "effort."
Derived from the Old French efort, this term originally meant an inward struggle or exertion of strength. It entered English in the late 14th century to describe the application of physical or mental power toward achieving a goal.
