The act or process of forming a group, or a collection of grouped items or people organized together.
From French 'groupement', derived from 'grouper' (to group) plus '-ment' (suffix indicating action or result). The French term became adopted in English for formal organizational contexts.
In 19th-century French political theory, 'groupement' was used to describe revolutionary associations—the word itself became as important as the movements it described in explaining how power could be redistributed.
