No, it isn't just you, I thought that it could also mean 'private', too. 'prvl' or similar would look like it would have been generated by pwgen. It doesn't look like a short, unambiguous and pronounceable abbreviation for 'privileged' exists and 'sysadmins' seems to be a better choice than 'privileged' or 'privileges'. My favorites up to now are 'sysadmins' and 'sudoroot', although I don't like having the command as part of the groupname.
