Etymology

The word 'trove' is derived from the Old French word 'trover', which means 'to find' or 'to discover'. This word has its roots in Latin, with 'tropare' meaning 'to find, to recover'. Its usage in English dates back to the late 19th century, where it was adopted particularly in the context of 'treasure trove', referring to a valuable or hidden find. Over time, 'trove' has evolved to signify any collection of valuable items or information, especially those that are discovered unexpectedly. The term is often used in literature and conversation to evoke a sense of serendipity and fortune.
