Etymology

The term 'totting' originates from the verb 'to tot', which dates back to the 19th century. Its roots can be traced to the old English word 'tote', meaning to carry or to bring. Over time, 'to tot' evolved to mean to calculate or to accumulate, particularly in a somewhat casual or informal context. The informal nature of the usage reflects a sense of ease, often associated with the communal or social aspects of counting or gathering. As it became popular in various contexts, it also embraced a broader meaning, illustrating the connection between action and outcome. Today, 'totting' is frequently used in everyday language, particularly in financial contexts and informal conversations.
