Collocation
Something someone may want (or not) to address:

I've always wondered about the words commingle and collocate. At first glance (and the first time I heard them), I thought they should be colocate and comingle (co signifying "with," as in cooperate, coworker, etc.). The definitions of both words certainly seem to indicate that the co- prefix is an accurate description of the word, so why is there a double letter after the co- prefix? Why collocate and commingle? It looks funny and doesn't make any sense. You wouldn't write coooperate or cowworker (unless that worker were a real moo-er...); why this?

Someone know the etymology or something? Should it be addressed here and in collocation? cluth 11:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * So far as I know the only significance of "collocation" is the prima-facie one. In particular as a developer, collocation is the relation between a server hosting entity and those of it's clients who own slots, racks, or other forms of computer hosts which they (the clients) own but which use the hosting entities facilities the same as the hosts they (the hosting entity) lease. Presumably collocation could present a moral hazard for commingling in some cases. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 16:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Non legal usage
"Commingling" is also used in reference to interference effects that can affect the results of scientific studies (particually in Genetic Epidemiology) and some mention of this conceptually related but totally different use could perhaps be in Commingling (research methods).

not an article
There's no topic here. Maybe it should be reduced to a disambig. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 00:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Ah, I see the category is law, so making article about that. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 01:35, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
