Explanation

The Japanese suffix '連 (れん)' is used to denote a group or association of people, often with a shared interest, activity, or purpose. It is commonly seen in the names of clubs, organizations, or teams. For example: a group of friends「友達連」(ともだちれん). A group of musicians「音楽連」(おんがくれん). This suffix is typically attached to a noun to form a compound word that refers to a collective entity. It is important to note that '連' can also be used in other contexts, such as in the word '連続 (れんぞく)', which means 'continuation' or 'series', but in this case, we are focusing on its use as a suffix to indicate a group.
