Hoard

Hoard refers to a large collection or stash of items that someone accumulates and keeps over time, often in secrecy or stored away. It can involve valuables like money, coins, jewelry, or other possessions. People may hoard for various reasons—security, pride, or emotional attachment. In financial contexts, hoarding wealth can impact the economy by reducing the circulation of money and resources. Overall, a hoard is essentially an intentionally gathered and stored reserve of items, reflecting personal or cultural behaviors related to accumulation and preservation.
