Full Definition
زَمْرَةٌ
A company, or congregated body, of men; as also
زَوْمَرٌ : or a party in a state of dispersion: pl. زُمَرٌ: you say, جَاؤُوا زُمَرًا
They came in parties in a state of dispersion, one after another: some say that زُمْرَةٌ is from
زَمْرٌ [originally an Verbal.Noun, and hence] signifying “ sound, ” because a company of men is not without sound: others, that it signifies a company of few persons; from شَاةٌ زَمِرَةٌ: but the former is the proper derivation, and is confirmed by what is said in the B.
