Best Answer

The collective term is Oxbridge (Oxford + Cambridge).

The name of this type of collective term?...

This particular collective term was originally created as a fictional composite.

A word consisting of two or more stems joined together form a compound word. However, 'Ox' is not a word/language stem in the English language.

A word combined with another word, or part of a word, form a portmanteau. The composite word Ox+bridge falls within this definition.
