The Word, Explained
A large number of birds, especially those gathered together for the purpose of migration.
"People flocked to the cinema to see the new film."
Close cousins: bunch, gaggle, horde, host
Tricky because it leans on letters most starting words never probe, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
