Etymology

Simple plural of 'bushmaster' formed by adding '-s.' Both 'bush' and 'master' are ancient English words with Germanic roots.

Kelly Says

Animal name pluralization seems simple ('two snakes,' 'three birds'), but for 'bushmaster' we rarely use the plural form because these snakes are solitary and rarely encountered together—plurals exist grammatically for all nouns, but actual usage depends on the real world.
