1. Multiplicitynoun

   Etymology: multiplicité, French.

   1. More than one of the same kind.

   Had they discoursed rightly but upon this one principle, that God was a being infinitely perfect, they could never have asserted a multiplicity of gods: for, can one God include in him all perfection, and another God include in him all perfections too? Can there be any more than all? And if this all be in one, can it be also in another? Robert South, Sermons.

   Company, he thinks, lessens the shame of vice, by sharing it; and abates the torrent of a common odium, by deriving it into many channels; and therefore if he cannot wholly avoid the eye of the observer, he hopes to distract it at least by a multiplicity of the object. Robert South, Sermons.

   2. State of being many.

   You equal John Donne in the variety, multiplicity, and choice of thoughts. John Dryden, Juvenal. Dedication to.
