The earliest use in the world of bikes of any form of the term seems to have been "gruppo." Which makes sense: Campagnolo pioneered the concept of production of a coherent group of components by a single manufacturer.

When other (non-Italian) manufacturers followed suit, their all-of-a-piece product sets were referred to in print in Anglophone magazines as "groups." Not as "groupsets."

(Note that the Bike Forums spellchecker, like me, regards "groupset" as an abomination.)
