Etymology
The word 'collide' originated from the Latin word 'collidere', which means 'to clash, to strike together'. It has been used in English since the 17th century, originally in a physical sense of two objects crashing into each other. Over time, its usage has expanded to include metaphorical collisions of ideas, schedules, or opinions.
