Pairs of pairs

Foursomes is the plural of foursome, a group of four people engaged in the same activity.

Golf foursomes are the most common reference: We have a foursome for Saturday morning.

The word also applies to group sex involving four participants.

Any gathering of four can be called a foursome, though it sounds slightly playful or dated outside golf and sex contexts.
