Moshe Rabbeinu retells how he told Hashem that the burden of leading Bnei Yisrael alone was too much for him. Moshe then tells Klal Yisroel (Devarim 1:13), "Havu Lachem Anashim...", Provide yourselves men, wise and understanding and renowned to your tribes...
Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky points out that the plural for men is Anashim instead of the more logical "Ishim" which would be plural for the singular for of the word man "Ish". What is Anashim and what is the basis for this word that has no root in the singular? He answers that one individual man and a group of men are two non-related concepts. A group of men is not multiple individuals. It is a new concept that is totally unrelated. This is why the Torah uses a word that is not related to the singular form.
He also adds that we find this in other languages as well including Russian, German, and Lithuanian.
