What does GROUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A number of people or things gathered, classified, or working together because they share something in common.
A group can be as informal as a cluster of friends meeting for coffee or as structured as a company division with its own budget and staff. Scientists and statisticians also rely on the word to sort data into categories for comparison, as when a study divides participants into a treatment group and a control group. In music, a group commonly means a band, while in business it can name a large organisation made up of several related companies. Because the word covers so many kinds of collections, writers often add a modifier, such as focus group or age group, to make the intended sense clear.
How GROUP is used
