Grotesqueries

/ɡroʊˈtɛskəriz/ noun

Definition

Plural of grotesquerie; multiple grotesque objects, figures, or bizarre things.

Etymology

Plural form of grotesquerie, which derives from French. Combines grotesque (from Italian 'grottesco,' referring to grotto paintings) with -ery suffix indicating a collection or style.

Kelly Says

Medieval and Renaissance nobles would commission entire rooms of grotesqueries—like art galleries of weird—because people were obsessed with the strange and impossible!
