Look up clique in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
In the social sciences, a clique (CanE, UK/ˈkliːk/ or US/ˈklɪk/) is a group of people who interact with each other more regularly and intensely than others in the same setting.[1] Interacting with cliques is part of normative social development regardless of gender, ethnicity, or popularity. Although cliques are most commonly studied during adolescence and middle childhood, they exist in all age groups.
