the.com/trove
A stash so good it demands its own adjective: treasure.
means A valuable collection of things, found or gathered, especially one that feels like a discovery.
from Clipped from 'treasure-trove,' itself from Anglo-French 'tresor trové' — literally 'treasure found.' The legal term 'trové' comes from Old French 'trover,' meaning to find, which is possibly related to Latin roots describing composing or inventing. English speakers eventually lopped off 'treasure' and let 'trove' carry the whole glittering idea on its own.
