Etymology

The word 'tally' originated from the Middle English word 'taillie', which came from the Old French 'taille' meaning a cut or notch. The use of 'tally' to mean a record of an account or score dates back to the 15th century. Tally sticks were once used as a form of counting and keeping track of debts in medieval England.
