passel \PAS-uh l\ noun 1. a group or lot of indeterminate number: a passel of dignitaries. Quotes If you had a passel of kids, then you'd always have a troop to boss when you felt like bossing. It would occupy your brain and you wouldn't get gloomy as often. -- Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove, 1985 Origin Passel is an alteration of the word parcel meaning "a quantity or unit of something." It entered English in the early 1800s.
