Etymology: "Lecturings" is simply the plural of "lecturing," which is the noun form of the verb "lecture." The plural turns the act of giving lectures into a countable set of such events, so a "series of lecturings" means several separate talks or sessions rather than one ongoing act of speaking. The underlying word, "lecture," comes from the Latin "lectura," meaning a reading, and from "legere," to read, so the idea of reading aloud to an audience sits at the heart of the family.

Synonyms: lectures, talks, presentations
