The process of grouping items together in sets or lots for processing, or combining materials in measured amounts to create something like concrete or batter.
From 'batch,' which originated in Middle English from Old English 'bæcce,' related to 'bake.' The suffix '-ing' indicates an ongoing process or action.
Batching is why your computer processes multiple tasks at once instead of one by one—it's an efficiency technique that dates back to factory production lines in the 1900s, borrowed from the much older practice of baking multiple loaves together.
