I hate the way nytimes misuses "trove" to mean "a valuable collection". The word is from French "trouvé" through the expression "treasure trove", meaning found treasure. It has a technical legal meaning: treasure apparently hidden so long ago that its original owner can be presumed dead and therefore can be kept by the finder.
