Compting

/ˈkaʊntɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of 'compt,' meaning the act of counting, calculating, or reckoning.

Etymology

From 'compt' (to count) plus the present participle suffix '-ing,' representing the ongoing action of calculation from Old French 'compter.'

Kelly Says

The '-ing' form of archaic verbs reveals their full history—'compting' shows that 'compt' was genuinely used as a working verb before 'count' became standard.
