Etymology
Hoarding meaning the behaviour comes from the verb hoard, from an old word for 'treasure' or stored goods; a helpful way to remember it is to think of someone making a private 'hoard' of things, which is why hoarding means keeping too many possessions and finding it hard to throw them away.
