the.com/batch
The polite excuse for doing everything late, all at once, and calling it a system.
means A group of things made, processed, or handled together as one unit, often to catch up on what's been piling up.
from From Middle English 'bache,' tied to baking — the set of loaves baked at one time from a single mixing. It shares roots with 'bake' itself, both tracing back to an old Germanic base meaning to bake. The leap from bread ovens to batch processing in factories and computers came much later, but the core idea never changed: a bunch of things pushed through together, on one go.
