Comment (by DJPaul):

 No, I think we should just add context to these identical strings to
 remove the ambiguity.

 I couldn't quite put my finger on what I didn't like. I chatted internally
 at Human Made to get another opinion, and @petya said the following
 (slightly formatted by me), which I agree with:

  I don't like the word "set" because in my language it's very hard to make
 sense of it in the context of items on a screen. I'd automatically know
 what a profile field group means. For me "a set" is something that is
 actually finalized - so nothing can be added or removed from it. Perhaps
 it's because of the meaning of the verb.
  As a non-native English speaker "a group" is easier for me to understand.
 Perhaps because I also know what functionality you're talking about and
 wouldn't want to see it renamed unless there's a good reason.
