Perlegenda

Etymology

From Latin perlegenda, substantive use of the neuter plural of perlegendus (“which ought to be read over or gone through”), future passive participle (gerundive) of perlegere (“to read over/through; scan, survey, run one’s eyes over; recount”).

Noun

1. A collection of items which ought to be read over or gone through.

Usage notes

Although the word perlegenda is the Latin plural of perlegendum, in English the word perlegenda is taken as a singular. The word perlegenda does not apply to a list of things to be read, but applies only to the collection of things themselves. Common examples would include a pile of unopened mail or a stack of unread books.
