So a little while ago I ran parge -- in the comments, someone pointed out there's a collective:


pargetry (PAR-je-tree) - n., ornamental plaster- or stucco relief work applied to a flat surface.


Derived from parget plus the noun suffix -(e)ry in its sense of a collective/aggregate (compare greenery).
