TALLIES Meaning and
Definition
-
Tallies refer to counting or recording marks or scores that are usually made to keep track of quantities, scores, or numbers. This term is often used to describe the act of marking or numbering items, such as votes, goals, or points, to keep a record of them. The purpose of tallies is to maintain an accurate count or record, especially when dealing with a large number of items or when multiple individuals are involved.
Tallies can be represented by marks or notches made on a surface, such as a piece of paper, a scoreboard, or a tally stick. Each mark or notch usually represents a specific quantity, or it may also indicate a specific value or meaning assigned to it, depending on the context. For instance, in a voting system, tallies may be used to indicate the number of votes each candidate has received.
In addition to their specific use in counting or recording, tallies can also refer to the final result or total that is obtained after adding up all the individual marks or scores. Therefore, it can be said that tallies provide a systematic way to calculate and keep a record of quantities or scores, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in various domains, including sports, elections, inventories, or any situation where counting or scoring is required.

Etymology of TALLIES
The word "tallies" has an interesting etymology that dates back to the Middle English period. It is derived from the Old French word "taillie", which means "a cut or notch". The Old French term itself traces back to the Latin word "tālea", which has a similar meaning of "a cutting or piece of wood". In medieval times, tallies were used as records or forms of accounting. They were created by making notches on a piece of wood or bone, which could be split into two halves. Each party would keep one half of the tally, serving as proof of a transaction. Over time, the usage of tallies evolved, and they began to refer to any kind of record or mark. Eventually, the term expanded to encompass other forms of recording and tracking, including numerical calculations and even scoring in games.
