But I'm actually ok with groupset. Sounds vaguely British.

EDIT: As a bit of a word nerd, I delved further. While Newspapers.com is by no means definitive, looks like "groupset" first started being used in the 1980s in, as I had guessed, the UK.
Isn't chainset a mostly British term in long standing use? So groupset being of British origin, and fairly long standing, isn't surprising.
