Note
An irregular plural inherited from man itself. The compound changes its vowel, -man to -men, rather than adding -s, so the plural is never spokesmans. Each person named this way is a voice for someone else, a person or a group. In the plural that usually means several people, each speaking for their own side or all for one body.
