Answer

TALLY

This word refers to a current count or running total of something, often used when keeping score or recording votes. The term comes from the practice of cutting notches into sticks or pieces of wood to keep track of quantities, dating back to medieval times. It can function as both a noun meaning the total count and a verb meaning to add up or calculate.
