Note
The plural carries every meaning of the singular with it. In a family, siblings are brothers and sisters taken together, a gender-neutral way to group them. Programmers use it for nodes in a data structure that share the same parent, and biologists use it for the most closely related species. That can mean several species at once, when none can be shown to be closer than the others.
