cete of badgers

Theme week! Collective nouns for animals. Which could fill whole semesters, but I'm picking words not otherwise used for other things.


cete - n., a company of badgers.


Or so the American Heritage Dictionary puts it. Possibly from Medieval Latin cetus, assembly, from Latin coetus, a coming together, variant of coitus. Nature is such the perv sometimes.
