Clients collectively; a body or group of clients; (archaic) the condition of being a client.
From 'client' + '-ry' (suffix meaning 'collectively' or 'state of being,' as in 'peasantry' or 'clergy'). This archaic term treats clients as a social class.
English once grouped people into classes by suffix: 'clergy' for priests, 'peasantry' for farmers, 'nobility' for nobles—and 'clientry' for dependent clients, but since 'clientry' implied lower status, it faded when the patron-client system did.
