Collateral within a financial context is used to indicate assets that secure a debt obligation.
For example, in the case of a mortgage, the house serves as the collateral for the mortgage loan.
Collateral, especially within banking, may traditionally refer to secured lending (also known as asset-based lending) as well as more recently as collateralisation arrangements to secure trade transactions (also known as capital market collateralization).
Collateral damage is a U.S. Military term for unintended or incidental damage during a military operation.
Etymologically, the expression "collateral damage" probably was originally used as military doublespeak rather than a euphemism, as the adjective "collateral" doesn't seem to have been used as a synonym for "unintentional" or "accidental" earlier.
The term "collateral damage" came into the public consciousness during the Persian Gulf War of 1991 from televised military briefings, and was used to describe civilian victims of the bombing of Iraq.
