關於Collateral的意思和用法的提問

A: Literally, collateral is property used as insurance against a loan. For example, a mortgage or home equity loan uses a house as collateral. If the borrower fails to pay back the loan, the bank can foreclose on the house.

"Collateral damage" is a political euphemism for "killing innocent people."

A: Damage done that doesn't mean anything or was going to happen anyway

A: “I need to provide Collateral to cover any sort of incidentals”

Incidentals - when you arrive at a hotel, they need to write down your credit card number to pay for any possible incidentals (ex. you breaking the TV, breaking the bed)

Collateral - The hotel taking your credit card number is using your credit card as collateral (what they have of yours in case you break something)

I’ve only heard “incidentals” at this hotel process.
Collateral is common in loans or borrowing situations
