Morphology
The verb 'colligate' means to logically organize or connect, and 'findings' are research results; the combined phrase simply means to organize or bind together research results. This is a straightforward verb + noun composition that directly follows constituent meanings (though 'colligate' is formal/rare), so a learner who knows both words would understand the MWE.
Etymology
Colligate findings comes from the image of tying pieces together: the word colligate suggests joining or tying and findings are the research results, so picture many small notes being tied into one clear report. So, to colligate findings means 'to collect and organize research results into one clear whole'.
