Etymology: "Slanderings" is simply the plural of "slandering," the noun form of the verb "slander" in its gerund-like sense, meaning the act or instance of spreading false and damaging statements about someone. Its plural form, as with most nouns, refers to separate instances of such talk, so a person might speak of the slanderings they have endured over several years rather than a single false claim.

Synonyms: defamations, calumnies, libels, malignings, aspersions

Antonyms: praises, commendations, acclaims
