History:
  Field_group was originally written when drupal 7 was released. For drupal 6, the module is
  located in the CCK module (http://drupal.org/project/cck).
  As drupal core has a fields API drupal > 6, the field_group module
  is considered a contribution.

Description:
  field_group is a module that will group a set of fields. In Drupal8,
  with fields, one means all fields that come from fieldable entities.
  You can add fieldgroups in several types with their own format settings.
  field_group uses plugins to add your own formatter and rendering for
  it.
  One of the biggest improvements to previous versions, is that fieldgroups
  have unlimited nesting, better display control.
  Note that field_group will only group fields, it can not be used to hide
  certain fields since this a permission matter.
