groupings

A grouping is when things are put together by category or shared characteristics.

You group people at work into teams so they can share ideas and divide tasks. Imagine your friend has a bunch of old CDs that she's organizing. She groups them by genre, like rock music or jazz, making it easier to find the one she wants to listen to. You also see groupings on sports teams, which are made up of players with similar skills or positions. This way, everyone works together towards a common goal. Grouping things helps us make sense of big collections and makes our lives more manageable.
