the.com/bunch

A crowd small enough to count, large enough to lose count of.

means A group of things gathered or growing together, or an informal heap of people, as in a whole bunch of them.

from From Middle English bunche, meaning a swelling, lump, or cluster. Its deeper roots are murky — etymologists call it of uncertain origin, possibly imitative of something rounded and clumped, perhaps related to the notion of a protuberance or hump. Over time the sense softened from a literal lump into any cluster you could grab in one hand: a bunch of grapes, of flowers, of keys — and eventually a loose bunch of folks.
