• kollegie

Learned borrowing from Latin collegium.

• IPA^(key): [koˈleˀɡjɔm]

kollegium n

1. dormitory (housing complex where students live for rent, consisting of single rooms, shared facilities and possibly smaller apartments)
2. collegium (circle of persons who exercise a common power or who have a professional community)

The fact that the -ium ending is dropped in inflections has given rise to the (sometimes proscribed) spelling kollegie. Similar words affected by this process are gymnasium, ambolatorium.
