The answer

TROVE

What trove means

A valuable collection or store of something desirable that has been discovered, typically hidden or accumulated over time.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *trove*, meaning "something found," derived from the past participle of *trover*, "to find." The Old French verb came from Vulgar Latin *tropāre*, which may trace back to Latin *tropus*, meaning "turn" or "figure of speech," though the semantic path remains somewhat unclear. The word entered English legal terminology in the phrase "trover and conversion" before broadening to mean any valuable collection or treasure.
