plural

More than one

Plural indicates more than one.

In grammar, plural forms contrast with singular: cats versus cat, children versus child, they versus he.

Extended to mean multiple or diverse: plural perspectives, plural societies.

As a noun, a plural is the form of a word that expresses more than one: What's the plural of "octopus"?
