let's see: merriam webster has the following to say:

    collate:

    ...
    to assemble in proper order; especially : to assemble
    (as printed sheets) in order for binding
    ...

"binding"?  sounds familiar.  let's take a look at the language
reference:

    ... Assignment statements are used to (re)bind names to
    values ...

    The for statement is used to iterate over the elements
    of a sequence ...  Each item in turn is assigned to the
    target list using the standard rules for assignments ...

+1 from here.
