'permanently-collected' originates from the combination of 'permanent' and 'collect,' where 'permanent' comes from Latin 'permanens,' meaning 'enduring,' and 'collect' from Latin 'colligere,' meaning 'to gather together.'

'permanens' and 'colligere' transformed into the Old French 'permanent' and 'collecter,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'permanent' and 'collect.'

Initially, 'permanent' meant 'enduring or lasting,' and 'collect' meant 'to gather together.' The combined term 'permanently-collected' retains the essence of these meanings, referring to items gathered for indefinite storage.
