amassment
Piled-up collection
Amassment is the act or result of amassing—gathering or accumulating in quantity.
The word is rare, appearing mostly in formal or literary contexts where accumulation or collection would serve equally well: the amassment of wealth over generations, an amassment of evidence against the defendant.
