Collation

Postby tkowal » Sun Feb 26, 2017 9:16 am

It seems that this word has several interesting meanings, even though I have seen it mainly related to sorting or ordering, particularly within computing. It can even mean a light meal! This last meaning produced the Polish word kolacja which means supper.

+1 Good suggestion

Computing is where I see it most. Also the slightly Victorian sounding (to me) expression a 'cold collation' meaning (to me) a collection of cheeses and (often cured) meats eaten with bread and salad.
