In a manner that considers or operates on groups rather than individuals; by groups or in group formations.
A compound of 'group' from French 'groupe' (cluster, bunch) and the English suffix '-wise' meaning 'in the manner of.' This formation follows English patterns of creating adverbs to describe manner of action or organization.
The '-wise' suffix is incredibly productive in English, allowing us to create instant adverbs from almost any noun - we can do things 'timewise,' 'moneywise,' or 'weatherwise.' It's a linguistic Swiss Army knife that lets speakers efficiently express complex relationships of manner or respect.
