What is another word for collector?
Pronunciation: [kəlˈɛktə] (IPA) 
A collector is someone who accumulates and gathers objects of a particular interest or value. There are several synonyms for the word "collector," such as connoisseur, hoarder, curator, gatherer, accumulator, and antiquarian. A connoisseur is an expert on a particular subject and has a refined taste for certain objects. A hoarder, on the other hand, collects and saves items compulsively, often to the point of having cluttered living spaces. A curator, meanwhile, is responsible for overseeing collections, particularly in museums and galleries. A gatherer is similar to a collector, but with a less specific focus, while an accumulator simply gathers things without necessarily organizing them. An antiquarian is a collector of old or rare items, especially books or art.
