The term mob has two main meanings.
1. From the Latin mobile vulgus 'the fickle people', it means a crowd - specifically, an unruly crowd, easily swayed by demagogues.
2. By extension from the above definition, the term 'mob' became used to describe criminal gangs, and the apperatus of organised crime.
