Elfenfolk

/ˈɛlfənfoʊk/ noun

Definition

elves collectively; the fairy folk or elf people considered as a group.

Etymology

From elf plus -en (a suffix meaning 'of') plus folk (people). This archaic or poetic term combines Germanic roots with Old English.

Kelly Says

Elfenfolk is an old-fashioned, poetic way to refer to elves as a community—you'd find it in Victorian fairy tales and fantasy literature more than in modern writing.
