🌟 TERMS OF VENERY 🐻 In English, there is a whole group of collective nouns called terms of venery. Venery is an archaic name for hunting (look up its modern meaning😅), and terms of venery refer to groups of animals, such as a pack of wolves or a murder of crows. 🦔 Most of these terms were invented in the 15th century by noblemen who were keen hunters. Later, terms of venery made their way out of hunters’ jargon into literature and became part of the English vocabulary. 🦆 If you want to learn more about the terms of venery, take a look at An Exaltation of Larks by James Lipton.
