A single goose is a goose, but you get a group together and it becomes geese. A single moose is a moose, you get two plus and it’s still moose?

Answer 1

Put simply the reason is they come from different language families with different values, moose is a translation and simplified version of an Native American word for the same animal and the word goose comes from Europe. Now if the word moose also came from the same Europe roots as goose and geese then the plural for moose would most likely be meese.
