social grouping
People organized together
A social grouping is any collection of people who share some connection or characteristic—a family, a club, coworkers, or residents of a neighborhood.
The term is broad and neutral, covering everything from informal friend circles to formal organizations.
It emphasizes the social bonds or shared identity that distinguish the group from a random crowd.
