You mean data are plural.
“is” is correct here, due to the implied nouns. “Data” in this case is an appositive and serves to describe the implied noun, “word.” And “plural” is an implied noun for “plural word”
You can see it most clearly if you fill in the implied nouns:
(the word) data is a plural (word)
I know I just thought it would be funny.

Oh fuck off with that pretentious ass pronunciation. I mean my God, just say “data” like a normal person! So tired of people trying to get all fancy with their pronunciations. Data is the only correct pronunciation. And while we’re at it, it’s “gif” not “gif” and “gnome” not “gnome”
