What is the term that means "how a noun and verb match"?

What is the word (I believe it starts with a "C") which means that a noun and a verb go together, e.g.: you can:

  • hold a meeting
  • start a meeting
  • end a meeting

but it would be odd to say that you:

  • make a meeting
  • create a meeting
  • do a meeting

etc.

I learned the word a long time ago in a linguistics class I took, it's something like "correlate" or "conjugate" but I can't remember it.


The word is collocation.
