Etymology
1. 1611, from M.Fr.
coillir "to gather, pick," from L.
colligere "to gather together" (see collect). Meaning specialized perhaps in nautical usage.
2. From Middle English coilen, from Old French coillir, cuillir (“to gather, pluck, pick, cull”) (modern French cueillir), from Latin colligō (“to gather together”), past participle collectus, from com- (“together”) + legō (“to gather”); compare legend. Doublet of cull. See: Old French '
coillir', French '
cueillir', Latin '
colligō'.
