Wordnik.com: pocketful of <i>-ry</i> http://www.wordnik.com/lists/pocketful-of-i-ry-i.xml I'm curious about collectives formed with the suffix -ry. This list does not include words that primarily refer to a condition or relationship (<a href="/words/rivalry">rivalry</a> is not a group of rivals) or to a practice or activity (<a href="/words/dentistry">dentistry</a> is not - primarily - a group of dentists; <a href="/words/skulduggery">skulduggery</a> 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 (<a href="/words/cavalry">cavalry</a> is not a group of cavals; <a href="/words/infantry">infantry</a> is not a group of infants). This list was inspired by a comment Steve Wasserstrom made to me some twenty-five years ago. http://www.wordnik.com victualry http://www.wordnik.com/words/victualry Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:19:29 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/victualry varletry http://www.wordnik.com/words/varletry Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:32:15 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/varletry englishry http://www.wordnik.com/words/englishry Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:26:07 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/englishry cousinry http://www.wordnik.com/words/cousinry Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:25:27 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/cousinry studentry http://www.wordnik.com/words/studentry Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:18:49 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/studentry mavenry http://www.wordnik.com/words/mavenry Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:13:19 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/mavenry gannetry http://www.wordnik.com/words/gannetry Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:35:12 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/gannetry hobbitry http://www.wordnik.com/words/hobbitry Mon, 22 Dec 2008 13:10:38 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/hobbitry peasantry http://www.wordnik.com/words/peasantry Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:19:58 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/peasantry freemasonry http://www.wordnik.com/words/freemasonry Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:00:56 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/freemasonry masonry http://www.wordnik.com/words/masonry Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:00:38 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/masonry jewry http://www.wordnik.com/words/jewry Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:23:19 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/jewry citizenry http://www.wordnik.com/words/citizenry Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:23:10 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/citizenry circuitry http://www.wordnik.com/words/circuitry Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:23:04 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/circuitry jewelry http://www.wordnik.com/words/jewelry Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:22:52 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/jewelry
