Etymology: "Collaged" is the past tense and past participle of "collage," which English borrowed unchanged from French, where it refers to the gluing or pasting of pieces together. That French word is a doublet of "collagen," "colloid," and "protocol," so these four English words share a common ancestry, even though each arrived in English by a different route.

Synonyms: composited, assembled, constructed
