Etymology

The word 'collaring' has its roots in the Middle English term 'coler', which evolved from the Old French 'colier', meaning 'to place a collar on'. The concept of a 'collar' has been present in various forms since the Middle Ages, primarily referring to the band around the neck of a garment. The usage of 'collaring' has expanded over time to include both the decorative aspects of clothing and the actions associated with capturing or restraining people or animals. As fashion evolved, different styles of collaring became popular, influencing various garments across cultures, while in law enforcement contexts, the term took on new meanings in relation to authority and control.
