Word origin

The word 'tallying' originates from the Middle English word 'talen', which means 'to reckon' or 'to count'. It has its roots in the Old French word 'taillier' and the Latin word 'talea', both of which also relate to counting or cutting. Over time, 'tallying' has evolved to refer to the act of counting or calculating, particularly in the context of votes or scores. It is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, finance, and everyday record-keeping.
