those plural

Morphology

those = that (transparent) = that + s

The plural demonstrative 'those' is readily recognized as the plural counterpart of 'that' despite an irregular vowel change.

Etymology

Those is the plural of that, from an old English word that meant 'over there' or 'more distant'. So, those points to several people or things that are farther from the speaker or different from nearer ones.
