Past tense of batch: grouped items together in sets or lots, or processed multiple items as a group rather than individually.
From Middle English 'bacche,' possibly related to Old English 'bæc' meaning 'back.' The 'batch' concept emerged in manufacturing and computing to describe grouped processing.
Batching revolutionized manufacturing—instead of making one item perfectly, factories discovered they could make 100 at once more efficiently, and computers use the same principle for processing data!
