trove
1888, from treasure trove (1550), from Anglo-Fr. tresor trové (1190), translating L. thesaurus inventus, lit. "treasure found." Originally any precious metal object one finds hidden whose owner is unknown. As this usually meant ancient hordes, the term came to mean "treasure horde" in popular use. Rendered treasure found from 1467.
