Cotabulate

/koʊˈtæbjəleɪt/ verb

Definition

To arrange data or information together in tabular form, especially with multiple related tables or datasets.

Etymology

From Latin 'co-' meaning 'together' and 'tabulate' from Latin 'tabula' meaning 'table'. The prefix indicates organizing multiple items into related table structures.

Kelly Says

In early data science and statistics, 'cotabulate' would have meant creating cross-referenced tables side-by-side—it's an obscure word that's been replaced by modern terms like 'cross-tabulate', but it shows how people thought about organizing complex information.
