Etymology: "Auralities" is simply the plural of "aurality," so it is the plural form of a noun that means the quality of being aural, or relating to the ear and hearing. "Aurality" itself is formed from "aural," which comes from the Latin "auralis," meaning of or relating to the ear, from "auris," the ear, with the English suffix "-ity" added to turn the adjective into a noun of quality.
