The plural form referring to multiple unspecified or unnamed people.
Formed from 'some' and 'one,' which merged in Middle English. While 'someone' is traditionally singular and doesn't pluralize in formal grammar, 'someones' appears colloquially to refer to multiple individuals who are not specifically named or identified.
Technically, grammarians argue 'someones' shouldn't exist because 'someone' is already indefinite, but it shows up in real speech and modern writing—language is always evolving based on what speakers actually need to say.
