plural of proposal
"The committee spent all afternoon reviewing the numerous proposals submitted by the local businesses for the new park project."
In plain English: Proposals are formal suggestions put forward for someone to consider and possibly accept.
"The committee reviewed several proposals to improve the school's lunch program."
Usage: Use proposals to refer to multiple formal suggestions or plans put forward for consideration, such as business offers or marriage requests. Do not confuse this with singular proposal when discussing just one specific idea.
Derived from Latin proponere, meaning "to put forward," this term originally referred to the act of presenting something for consideration or discussion. The plural form retains the sense of multiple items offered as suggestions or plans.
