A tide or time when a gang of workers assembles; possibly a specific time for collective labor or assembly.
From 'gang' (group of workers) + 'tide' (time or season). 'Tide' originally meant time in general, seen in words like 'eventide' and 'Christmastide.'
This archaic term reveals how pre-industrial and early industrial societies organized work by seasons and tides—fishermen worked with tidal rhythms, and farmers worked by harvest cycles, making 'gangtide' a natural way to describe collective work times.
