Collision – Meaning, Definition, Synonyms and Antonyms
Collision is used as a noun (and sometimes a verb form in other contexts) in English grammar. As a noun, it refers to an impact when two things hit each other, often with force.
Meaning:
Collision means slamming into something hard or striking another object—typically while moving.
Definition:
A collision can be accidental, but it can also be intentional, such as in lab experiments to study how forces and materials behave under impact. The word points both to the moments leading up to the crash and to the forceful contact itself—often involving a resulting damage or a change in motion.
