Etymology
'Cold stream,' v. cald , wielle . The modern form is due to loss of w , assimilation of ld to ll , and the dissimilatory loss of the final l . The pronunciation [kɔlə] was then confused with collier , which must have been common in this forest district. Cf. Colieresland 13thAddCh (in Hatfield), and Collier Row infra 117.
