cluster
Gathered knot together
A cluster is a group of similar things gathered or growing close together: a cluster of grapes, a cluster of stars, a cluster of buildings.
The word emphasizes natural or loose grouping rather than rigid arrangement.
Things cluster when they bunch together: Fans clustered around the entrance.
In computing, a cluster is a group of connected computers or storage units working as a single system.
