Goosery

/ˈɡuːzəri/ noun

Definition

A place where geese are raised and bred; a goose farm or establishment.

Etymology

From 'goose' plus the suffix '-ery' (from Old French '-erie'), meaning 'a place where something is done or kept,' similar to 'nursery,' 'dairy,' or 'brewery.'

Kelly Says

The '-ery' suffix is one of English's most productive suffixes for creating place-names—combining it with animals and activities creates instant, logical words (piggery, poultry, fishery, duckery) that English speakers understand immediately!
