Ways to tell them apart:
- "Collision" starts with the idea of impact, and it implies two or more entities coming together forcefully, like in an accident.
- "Collusion" involves secret plotting or agreements, often used with negative connotations of deceit or illegal actions.
- Both words sound similar but remember: collision is tangible and physical, while collusion is intangible and conspiratorial.
- Think of cars when you hear collision; they literally collide.
- Link collusion with conspiracy when someone is plotting or scheming.
