total

来自拉丁语 totus,总的，全部的。

total

total: [14] Total goes back ultimately to Latin tōtus ‘whole’ (source also of French tout, Italian tutto, and Spanish todo ‘all’). From it was derived medieval Latin totālis ‘of the whole’, which passed into English via Old French total. Tot [18], as in ‘tot up’, is short for total. Totalizator was coined in Australia in the late 1870s, and the abbreviation tote started life in Australian English too.
