Etymology: "Landscapings" is simply the plural of "landscaping," so the history belongs to that base form. "Landscaping" is built from "landscape" plus the suffix "-ing," which turns the noun into the name of an activity: the work of shaping outdoor ground into a pleasing scene. The plural form, used for distinct instances or projects of that work, follows the ordinary English pattern for nouns ending in a consonant-plus-"-ing" construction.

Synonyms: landscapes, sceneries
