Group
Team, Class
noun, suffix
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:
You're part of a special group. It is the cumin group, and they deal with all things cumin (the spice / seed). Smell the cumin. Touch it. Taste it. You live and breathe the stuff, because you are the president of this cumin group.
P.S. This can also be spelled 組み (same overall reading: くみ).
九人を三組のグループに分けた。
I divided nine people into three groups.
あなた、三年二組のコウイチくん?
Are you Koichi from grade three class two?
この男は、有名なヤクザの組のリーダーですよ。
This man is the leader of a famous yakuza organization.
