Etymology
1. 1612, from L. collatus, pp. of conferre "to bring together," from com- "together" + ferre "to bear" (see infer). Collation, with many meanings over the centuries, is attested from c.1374. As the title of a popular 5c. religious work by John Cassian, "Collation" was sometimes translated into O.E. as þurhtogenes.
2. From Latin collātus, perfect passive participle of conferō, see -ate (verb-forming suffix). Doublet of confer. See also infer, delate and defer (Etymology 2), relate and refer, as well as prelate and prefer among others. Not related to collateral.
