Etymology
**Etymology**
The French noun *compte* comes from Old French *compte*, which itself is a direct borrowing from the Vulgar Latin form *comptus*. This Latin term derives from *com‑* “together” + *putare* “to reckon or calculate”, meaning “a count or calculation”. Over time the word kept its sense of an account or enumeration in both French and English.
