If a group K acts on a finite set X, it acts on the direct product of groups HX by permuting its factors. The resulting semidirect product is the permutation wreath product. For K=Sm​ acting on m two-point blocks and H=C2​, it describes independent within-block swaps combined with a permutation of blocks, and has order 2mm!. The action on X is part of the definition; it need not be the regular action used in a regular wreath product.
