Morphology

those = that (transparent) = that + s

This sense is the plural of the pronoun 'that' and is transparently its plural form despite irregular vowel change.

Etymology

Those comes from the same root as that, a word that long ago meant 'over there' or 'more distant'. That's why those, used by itself, stands for several things that are farther away or already mentioned.
