The word "college" is from the [[Latin]] verb ''lego, legere, legi, lectum'', "to collect, gather together, pick", plus the preposition ''cum'', "with",<ref>Cassell's Latin Dictionary, Marchant, J.R.V, & Charles, Joseph F., (Eds.), Revised Edition, 1928: lego; colligo</ref> thus meaning "selected together". Thus "colleagues" are literally "persons who have been selected to work together". In [[ancient Rome]] a ''[[collegium (ancient Rome)|collegium]]'' was a "body, guild, corporation united in colleagueship; of magistrates, praetors, tribunes, priests, augurs; a political club or trade guild".<ref>Cassell's Latin Dictionary, Marchant, J.R.V, & Charles, Joseph F., (Eds.), Revised Edition, 1928, p.107</ref> Thus a college was a form of [[corporation]] or corporate body, an artificial legal person (body/corpus) with its own legal personality, with the capacity to enter into legal contracts, to sue and be sued. In mediaeval England there were colleges of priests, for example in [[chantry chapel]]s; modern survivals include the [[Royal College of Surgeons]] in England (originally the Guild of Surgeons Within the City of London), the [[College of Arms]] in London (a body of [[herald]]s enforcing heraldic law), an [[electoral college]] (to elect representatives); all groups of persons "selected in common" to perform a specified function and appointed by a monarch, founder or other person in authority. As for the modern "college of education", it was a body created for that purpose, for example [[Eton College]] was founded in 1440 by [[letters patent]] of King Henry VI for the constitution of a college ''of Fellows, priests, clerks, choristers, poor scholars, and old poor men, with one master or governor'', whose duty it shall be to instruct these scholars and any others who may resort thither from any part of England in the knowledge of letters, and especially of grammar, without payment".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/historyofetoncol00custuoft|title=A history of Eton college|first=Lionel|last=Cust|date=7 January 1899|publisher=London : Duckworth|via=Internet Archive}}</ref>
