Etymology
'non-collectible' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'collectible,' which comes from the Latin 'collectus,' meaning 'gathered together.'
'collectible' changed from the Latin word 'collectus' and eventually became the modern English word 'collectible.'
Initially, 'collectible' meant 'able to be gathered,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'suitable for collection or valuable.'
