Collage and College - Confusion arises from a and e after ll.Origin-
Word Collage comes from Old French word "coller" means " to glue" and Coller comes from Greek word "kolla" means "glue."
Word College comes from Latin word "collegium" means "partnership" as "col" means "together with" + legare means "depute"
College is for student, here word student carries "e" that is used in word college after ll (double l).
Collage for pasting some coloured paper, here letter "a" from word paste same as in word collage after ll
(double l).
