Hoarding has two very different meanings. The first is collecting and keeping large amounts of something, often more than you need, sometimes out of fear of running out — like hoarding toilet paper or hoarding money, or, in a more serious sense, a mental health condition where someone struggles to throw anything away. The second meaning, mostly in British English, is a large board put up outdoors for advertisements (what American English calls a billboard), or the tall wooden fence built around a building site.
囤積（行為）；（英式）大型廣告看板、工地圍板
