One-line definition
A collared submissive has accepted a collar or collaring as the symbol of commitment, belonging, or a D/s bond.
Full definition
Within community shorthand, “collared” works roughly the way “engaged” or “married” does outside it: this person’s dynamic is spoken for. What exactly the collar commits, whether exclusivity, duration, or depth of power exchange, depends entirely on the collaring agreement behind it. That is why the polite community habit is to congratulate rather than assume.
