The answer
DROVE
What drove means
A group of animals, especially cattle or sheep, being herded together in one direction, or a large number of people moving or gathered together.
Where the word comes from
Drove comes from Old English "drāf," the past tense of "drīfan," meaning to drive or push. This traces back to Proto-Germanic "dribanan," related to Old Norse "drífa" and German "treiben." The root likely descends from an Indo-European base meaning to push or thrust. The noun "drove"—a herd of cattle or group traveling together—developed from the verb's sense of herding animals forward.
