Usage Note

Molteplicità is an invariable noun — like all Italian nouns ending in an accented -tà, it does not change in the plural: una molteplicità / le molteplicità. It denotes a large number and variety of things, and is common in academic and journalistic writing. The accent on the final syllable forces the stress there.

Examples

"Esiste una molteplicità di soluzioni possibili."
