A bunch is an appreciable but indeterminate number of something: A bunch of people showed up for the auction.

A number of like things gathered in a characteristic way is also a bunch (bunch of parsley, bunch of bananas).

When you bunch items, you gather them in one place, or treat them as like, even though they may be different: Bunch up the flowers and place them in a vase.

Someone’s bunch is the people that they ordinarily hang around with.
