Organization
noun, verbal noun
A group that's weaved together so tightly with hierarchy and everything else is a little more complicated than a group. It's an organization.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. You didn't learn that reading for 組, so here's a mnemonic to help:
You start an organization for soap (そ). You're all about soap and making it more effective through your organization. So you call it the Soap Organization for Antiseptic Progress, or S.O.A.P. for short.
