When describing a significant number of people, the term "large group" might not fully encompass the entire gathering. Some alternate ways to describe such a gathering would be a crowd, multitude, assembly, congregation, throng, or a mob. Depending on the context, a "large group" could also be referred to as a team, squad, crew, battalion, troop, or company. The terms cohort and community could also refer to a larger group bound by a shared characteristic or interest. In general, the term used to describe a large gathering depends on the tone of the description and the nature of the group involved.
