+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [kɔlˈlaː.ti.oː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [kolˈlat.t͡si.o]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''collātiō''' ''f'' (genitive collātiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''conlātiō''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|cōnferō|-tiō|t1=to bring together]], built on the participle stem ⟨collāt-⟩.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) De Vaan explains the participle of [[m|la|ferō|t=to carry]] and its compounds as an old participle of another root, [[itc-pro|*tlāto-]] from [[ine-pro|*tlh₂-to-|t=lifted]], while the present goes back to [[ine-pro|*bʰer-e/o-|t=to carry]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's first citation is Plautus' ''Miles gloriosus'', of the coming together of two people's wickedness, a combination.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its first concrete sense is a placing together: Cicero has ''collātiō signōrum'', the clash of standards in a pitched battle.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Of money it is a contribution to the state, the emperor or a common fund: Livy has people bringing heavy bronze in carts and making a showy contribution.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In law ''collātiō bonōrum'' was the bringing of an heir's property into the common estate before it was divided.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) From placing side by side it came to mean comparison: the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium'' uses it of comparing what is written with what the opponents say they did, and of a simile or analogy.^(OLD 2012) Varro and the grammarians call the comparative ''secunda collātiō'' and the superlative ''tertia collātiō''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In Medieval Latin it means a conversation, a conference, an address or homily, the evening meal in a monastery at which Cassian's ''Collationes'' were read, a grant, the collation of a church benefice, and the checking of a copy against its original.^(Niermeyer 1976) Stelten gives "meeting, conference, discussion" for Church Latin.^(Stelten 1995)
