Question

horde 【horde】n.群众；大群Two women were quarrelling on the street, surrounded by a horde of people.有两个妇人在街上争吵，被一大群人围住。

Accepted Answer

[hɔːrd] 
hordea vast multitude
Use the word horde to describe a large crowd: “A horde of people followed Newman as he left the airport in Helsinki.”
The noun horde is not for the sedate — the word typically is used to describe a group that is in motion, maybe even a little unruly, such as a horde of fans pursuing a film star or a horde of ants invading a picnic. If you are describing a calm, orderly gathering, the word group or crowd may be a better choice. You can save horde for the next time you need to describe, for example, your experience at a pre-Christmas sale (“A horde of holiday shoppers rushed toward the last discounted television set”).

  To hoard is  to squirrel stuff away, like gold bricks or candy wrappers. A horde is a crowd of people, usually, but it  can also be a gang of mosquitoes, robots, or rabid zombie kittens. 
  If you gather all the info you can about hoard, and store it away for later,  you'll find it comes from the word for "hidden treasure." When you hoard something, you are collecting lots of material, usually of  value, in secret. You store these things in case you need them later. It's a noun and a verb. Hoarding canned goods and batteries before a hurricane is smart.  Not throwing out that hoard of old  playground equipment in your yard, not so smart. Here's some hoarding from the news:

American firms continue to hoard cash and  overall bank deposits soar despite rock-bottom interest rates. (New York Times) 
    
      Clippings  and advertisements for free samples were hoarded and quickly posted. (Lauren Ann Isaacson)
    Every  one is given at least one talent for use; not to hide and hoard away. (Louise Vescelius-Sheldon)

A horde, on the other hand, is a busy mob, like the one that chases Frankenstein's monster with torches. Hordes are often roving and mad. Horde is usually derogatory and should  be use with care. Here are some hordes from the news:
  
     In China, it means angry hordes parading  victims wearing dunce caps through the streets before stringing them up in  public squares. (Time)
    
      As darkness fell, women illuminated by wood fires  stirred vats of couscous and beef stew for the hordes of visitors.  (New York Times)

The  only reason people get these words confused is that they sound. Remember,  there's an "a" in hoard and "gather." Horde is just a wild bunch of letters holding pitchforks.
