Horde is a collective noun, implying a large group or crowd. The synonyms of the word can be gang, a swarm, a flock, a pack, a host, multitude, mob, legion, drove etc. Here is the usage of the word "horde" in a sentence:    A horde of wolves began to emerge through the bushes at the nightfall.    The word has a Polish origin, stemming from the Polish word "horda." In AD 1241, fresh from annexing Russia into the largest empire of the world, the army of Mongols or Tartars began to march spiritedly westward to make their empire even larger. The next country to be annexed on their agenda after Russia was supposed to be Hungary, but in order to confuse the European armies, the Mongols sent a batch of army to the north, i.e. Poland.    The batch of 20,000 strong army conquered Poland and Germany, and finally concentrated towards annexing Hungary. The conquest of Hungary also came to Mongols quite remarkably but as they were about themselves to push far into the conquest of the west, the dream run ended. The Mongols got the word of the death of their leader, the Great Khan Ogadei, the son of Genghis Khan. The leaders and army of Mongols who were on a spree to win kingdoms had to return back to Mongolia to choose the successor to Ogadei. They left Central Europe and never returned.  However the terror which the Tartar or Mongolians unleashed in Europe stayed for centuries.  The valiant military force which came in with a large army to spell doom for most European nations is now remembered as the "horde."
