Etymology
The word 'amount' originates from the Middle French 'monter,' meaning 'to mount' or 'to rise.' This was derived from the Latin 'admontare,' where 'ad-' means 'to' and 'montare' means 'to climb or ascend.' The term evolved in English during the late 14th century and has been used to refer to the total or sum of something. Over the centuries, its usage expanded to encompass a broader meaning, indicating cumulative values or the overall result of various factors or activities. The past tense 'amounted' has continued to retain the essence of the original meaning while adapting to various contexts in modern English.
