Plural form: multiple instances of arranging documents in order, or several light meals.
Plural of 'collation' formed with the standard '-s' ending. The dual meaning (both document verification and meals) appears in plural usage in medieval monastic records.
Medieval monastery records mention 'collations' with both meanings—some entries refer to document-checking sessions while others mention evening collations (meals), and sometimes the same word was used because they happened simultaneously.
