About This Root
From Latin grex, gregis (flock, herd). All derivatives relate to grouping: congregate (gather together), segregate (separate from the flock), gregarious (sociable, flock-loving). Egregious originally meant 'standing out from the herd' in a positive sense, but shifted to mean outstandingly bad.
