  clique 
 
    A  {maximal}  {totally  connected}  {subgraph}. 
  Given  a  {graph}  with  {nodes}  N,  a  clique  C  is  a  {subset}  of  N 
  where  every  node  in  C  is  directly  connected  to  every  other 
  node  in  C  (i.e.  C  is  totally  connected),  and  C  contains  all 
  such  nodes  (C  is  maximal).  In  other  words  a  clique  contains 
  all  and  only,  those  nodes  which  are  directly  connected  to  all 
  other  nodes  in  the  clique.
