      sentence that occurs more frequently than would be
      predicted in a random arrangement of words; a combination
      of words that occurs with sufficient frequency to be

3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
co-location
collocation

    /koh'loh-kay`sh*n/ or /koh`loh-kay'sh*n/ (Or
   "colocation") Providing network connections such as Internet
   leased lines to several servers housed together in a
   server room.  This is typically provided as a commercial
   service.

   The hyphenated form is correct and the most common on the web,
   followed by "colocation".  "collocation" (/ko`loh-kay'sh*n/,
   not /koh'-/), is an old word with a similar meaning.  It is
   common in dictionaries and follows the pattern of other
   Latin-derived words like collect, college, and collate, but is
   least common on the web.

   The verbal form is "to colocate" or "co-locate" (commonly
   /koh'loh`kayt/, also (US) /koh`loh'kayt/).
