For example, "demonym" is the term for the people from a place. Is there a term for describing the collective noun of a species of animals, like a business of ferrets, swarm of bees, or congress of baboons? Say I was making a table with the animal in one column and the collective noun as the header of another column. What would the header of the collective column be?
