Groupon
Collective discount platform
Groupon is a company that sells discount vouchers for local businesses—restaurants, spas, activities, and services.
The name blends "group" and "coupon," reflecting the original model where deals activated only when enough people bought in.
Now it functions as a general discount marketplace: I got a Groupon for that new Thai place.
The name sometimes appears as a common noun for any such voucher.
