Word of the Day



horde

Hoi Polloi Word of the Day:

The existence of the homophone hoard and the fact that the meanings of horde and hoard both contain the idea of large numbers of things spells havoc for the proper use of the two words. They are in fact separately derived, and not synonymous. A horde typically refers to a teeming crowd of people; a hoard can be a large number of anything that is collected and stored up for future use.
