hoard or horde? Do not confuse the spelling of hoard and horde, which sound similar. Hoard is used as a verb meaning "collect and store for future use" (as in to hoard money) or as a noun denoting such a collection (as in a hoard of valuables). Horde is chiefly used as a noun, denoting a large group of people or animals (as in hordes of visitors); it is only occasionally used as a verb, meaning "gather, move, or live in a large group."
