לֶאֱגוֹר
LEE’GOR
To store
The meaning of the infinitive 'to hoard' is to collect all kinds of things.
מַשְׁמָעוּתוֹ שֶׁל שֵׁם הַפֹּעַל 'לֶאֱגוֹר' הִיא לֶאֱסוֹף כָּל מִינֵי דְּבָרִים.
There are people who tend to hoard all kinds of items and cannot throw them away, even if they do not need them at all.
יֵשׁ אֲנָשִׁים שֶׁנּוֹהֲגִים לֶאֱגוֹר כָּל מִינֵי דְּבָרִים וְלֹא מְסוּגָּלִים לִזְרוֹק אוֹתָם, אֲפִילּוּ שֶׁהֵם בִּכְלָל לֹא צְרִיכִים אוֹתָם.
Some people suffer from this as a real condition. I used to be like that once—especially when my children were young. I used to hoard their clothes and never throw them away, even when they were already too small for them, because they were so cute.
