hoarder

/ˈhɔɹdɚ/ noun

One who hoards; one who accumulates, collects, and stores, especially one who does so to excess.

Word Origin Hoard comes from a Proto-Germanic word meaning 'hidden treasure' — the root *keud- meant 'to hide, conceal'. So a hoarder is literally someone who hides things away, often compulsively. The word hoard itself is ancient, and you can see the same hiding idea in words like hide and hut (a concealed shelter).
