Other forms: objections
An objection is a reason given against something. Not just disliking it — saying why.
The word takes to: an objection to the plan, an objection to the wording. Meetings and planning applications run on them, and if there are no objections is the standard phrase for moving on. Courtrooms give the word its most theatrical use, where a lawyer says objection and the judge sustains or overrules it. The verb is object, stressed on the second syllable, and the adjective objectionable means genuinely offensive.
