Etymology
The word 'subtotal' is a compound word formed from the prefix 'sub-', which comes from Latin meaning 'under' or 'below', and 'total', which is derived from the Latin 'totalis', meaning 'whole' or 'entire'. The term began to be used in English in the early 20th century, particularly in accounting and financial contexts, to describe a total that represents only a part of a whole. The use of subtotals became increasingly important as businesses grew and financial reporting became more complex. They provide clarity and structure to financial documents, allowing for easier decision-making and analysis.
