About

I'm curious about collectives formed with the suffix -ry. This list does not include words that primarily refer to a condition or relationship (rivalry is not a group of rivals) or to a practice or activity (dentistry is not - primarily - a group of dentists; skulduggery is not a group of skulduggers), nor does it include words that may have originally been collectives in the languages they were derived from but don't work that way in English (cavalry is not a group of cavals; infantry is not a group of infants). This list was inspired by a comment Steve Wasserstrom made to me some twenty-five years ago.
