"قطيع" is an Arabic term that translates to "herd" in English. It typically refers to a group of animals, especially livestock like sheep, goats, or cattle, that are managed together for grazing or farming purposes. Herding is an important practice in agriculture, as it helps in the efficient management of animals and their resources. In addition to its agricultural meaning, "قطيع" can also be used metaphorically to describe a group of people who follow a leader or a common ideology. This usage highlights the idea of collective behavior, similar to how animals in a herd move and act together, often without individual decision-making.
