cohort \KOH-hort\ noun. 1 : companion, colleague. 2 a : band, group. b : a group of individuals having a statistical factor (such as age or class membership) in common in a demographic study.

Is cohort the same as group?

As nouns the difference between group and cohort

is that group is a number of things or persons being in some relation to one another while cohort is a group of people supporting the same thing or person.

Why do people say cohort instead of group?

We use the word “cohort” because the definition is a group of people banded together or treated as a group so I think we should use it is because it's like a more educated word and it has the meaning group, but more, and if kids didn't know the word, they should know it means a group of people.
