A detailed list or summary of documents, accounts, or transactions, used in business and legal contexts.
From French 'bordereau,' diminutive of 'bordure' (border), originally meaning a marginal note or list written along the edge of a document. It evolved to mean any detailed summary or invoice.
The word 'bordereau' is a perfect example of how medieval scribes literally worked margins and borders—they'd write summaries in the margins, and eventually that practice got its own special name.
