A collective term for a group of badgers; can also refer to badgers themselves in a somewhat archaic or poetic sense.
From Middle English, possibly related to Old French 'basse' or connected to similar animal-collective terms like 'pack' or 'pride.' The term is rarely used in modern English but survives in traditional hunting and zoological language.
English has amazing collective nouns like 'a pride of lions' and 'a murder of crows,' and 'a baze of badgers' is one of the most obscure ones—it's so old and unused that most dictionaries don't even include it, but it shows how medieval English had poetic names for every animal group imaginable.
