It's basically a Latin version of the Greek anthology [0], but far less commonly used. I'd imagine it occupies similar territory to anthology in high-dimensional space, though, so seems reasonable for an LLM to pick it up.
I had no clue about anthology’s etymology. Very cool!
Reading this made me realize the Dutch 'bloemlezing' is literally the same word.
Very cool, thank you for sharing that :) I got curious, funny how every single Wikipedia article for languages which use the Latin script is some cognate of “anthology”, including for “outsiders” (excuse the term) such as Finnish, Basque, or Hungarian, while the Dutch (and the Romans obviously) translated it.
