Hi Friderike, I doubt that term originated in the English language, there is "collaborare" in Italian, afik, it's very similar to Latin;-)

Steffen Walter
: That's it. / I beg to differ as to the origin. IMHO it's almost 100% certain - at least when seen from a "modern world" perspective - that it originates from EN (EN is *the* software devt. lang., after all). But of course it's derived from Latin.
