Because the ending sounded like a plural, speakers eventually treated it as <em>peas<\/em> and created a new singular: <strong>pea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A singular that sounded plural<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Middle English, <em>pease<\/em> was a mass noun, rather like <em>rice<\/em> today. It did not contain the ordinary plural ending. Over time, however, speakers interpreted the final sound as the plural <em>-s<\/em>. If <em>pease<\/em> meant more than one, logic suggested that one of them must be a <em>pea<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back-formation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linguists call this kind of process <strong>back-formation<\/strong>: a new, apparently simpler word is created by removing something that looks like an ending. The new analysis was historically mistaken, but it was useful, and it became standard English.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nederlandse uitleg<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In het Nederlands:<\/strong> pease werd aangezien voor een meervoud. Daardoor maakten taalgebruikers een nieuw enkelvoud: pea. Het \u201cfoutje\u201d werd uiteindelijk de normale vorm.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try it yourself<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern English now has the tidy pair <em>one pea<\/em> and <em>several peas<\/em>. Sometimes language becomes more regular because speakers misunderstand its older structure.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f5d547;padding-top:24px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:24px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Would you like English to feel less baffling?<\/strong> The English Juf offers clear, practical English tutoring in Woerden and online for secondary-school pupils and adults.
