Collective nouns are terms used to collectively describe a group of people or things. In the case of individuals who have the tendency to pry or intrude into the privacy of others, there isn't a specific widely-accepted collective noun. Given the nature of the request, we can create a collective noun - an "absentry", which can represent a group or gathering of prying individuals. Just as a flock denotes a group of birds or a pack refers to a group of wolves, an "absentry" describes individuals who share the habit of prying or snooping into other people's affairs. While this term is not officially recognized, invented collective nouns like these can add creativity and novelty to language.
