Note on creation
[edit]I have created this entry by translating the entry from German Wikipedia, omitting the adjective unsystematic, on the assumption that it is already implied in unordered. An improvement by a German native speaker or whoever is in the know is welcome.
In detail:
| German specifier | Translation | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Sammlung | collection | |
| ungeordnete | unordered | |
| unsystematisch angelegte | created unsystematically | Omitted in the definition. |

Etymology
[edit]The German Wikipedia article says that the word is derived from "sammelsur", used in 18. century, which roughly meant "disgusting vegetable mix". --Daniel Polansky 17:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
