Etymology
The word supercollider combines super- meaning 'above' or 'beyond' and collide meaning 'to crash together'. You can see the same idea in collision, which means 'a crash', and that's why a supercollider is a very large machine that makes tiny particles 'crash' together at very high speed for experiments.
