Etymology
SuperCollider combines super ('very' or 'above') and collider ('a machine that makes things crash together'), like the big physics machines where particles smash to create new things. A helpful image is a powerful place where pieces of sound 'collide' and form new tones, so SuperCollider is a tool for making and shaping electronic music in real time.
