The plural form of 'yes'; multiple affirmative answers or agreements.
From Old English 'gēse', which evolved from a form meaning 'may it be so.' The plural 'yeses' is a straightforward addition of the standard English plural '-es' ending, creating a rare word where we pluralize an interjection.
Most languages pluralize 'yes' and 'no' awkwardly because they're interjections, not nouns—yet English speakers do it anyway, showing how flexible language is! The phrase 'getting more yeses than nos' has become marketing speak, turning abstract agreement into countable things.
