The words hoard and horde are similar in meaning and are pronounced the same, and so they are sometimes confused. A hoard is ‘a secret stock or store of something’, as in a hoard of treasure, while a horde is sometimes a disparaging word for ‘a large group of people’, as in hordes of fans descended on the stage. Instances of hoard being used instead of horde are not uncommon.
