In response to "Ineresting! So, on rosary beads, every group of ten beads is called a decade. I think it can be used for any group of ten. -- nm" by loosilu

I'm... not sure it can? I mean if you want to be very strict about etymology I suppose it's technically ok, but that's well outside accepted use.

Or at least accepted English use. From the name I'm betting his first language may be French, where it seems to be a thing.
