Etymology

The word 'collide' originates from the Latin word 'collidere', which is composed of 'com-' meaning 'together' and 'lidere' meaning 'to strike'. The transition from Latin to Middle English brought about the adoption of this term in the early 17th century. Initially, it was used to describe forces in physics where two bodies come into contact. Over time, its usage expanded to describe not only physical impacts but also metaphorical clashes, such as conflicting ideas or ideologies. The concept of collision has significant implications in various scientific fields, especially in physics and astronomy, where it describes the interactions between particles or celestial bodies.
