My query is whether there is a word which has, as its DEFINITION, a collective noun (not one particular collective noun, but all of them).

This would be analogous to "eponym", which refers to ALL places/diseases etc derived from a person's name.

I have already checked the listings of collective nouns on this site, but it was no help with this question.
