Definition, synonyms and related words
plural of movement
"The choreographer adjusted the dancers' movements to ensure their steps matched the rhythm perfectly."
In plain English: Movements are groups of people who come together to try and change something important.
"The dancer's graceful movements captured the audience's attention."
Usage: Use movements to describe multiple distinct physical actions or series of motions performed by someone or something. Avoid confusing this with a single instance of motion, which should simply be called a movement.
Derived from the Latin movere meaning "to move," this plural form entered English via Old French to denote physical motions or shifts in position. It also broadly refers to organized groups advocating specific social, political, or artistic causes.
