hordes
Vast roving crowds
Hordes is the plural of horde—a large, often disorderly crowd or swarm.
The word typically suggests masses of people moving together, often with negative connotations of invasion or overwhelming numbers: Hordes of tourists descended on the city, hordes of fans mobbed the stadium.
Horde originally referred to nomadic warrior tribes of central Asia, which colors its modern use with implications of uncontrolled or threatening multitudes.
