total 总的，总计的，彻底的，完全的

来自拉丁语 totus,总的，全部的。

total: total: [14] Total goes back ultimately to Latin tōtus ‘whole’ (source also of French tout, Italian tutto, and Spanish todo ‘all’). From it was derived medieval Latin totālis ‘of the whole’, which passed into English via Old French total. Tot [18], as in ‘tot up’, is short for total. Totalizator was coined in Australia in the late 1870s, and the abbreviation tote started life in Australian English too.

total (adj.): late 14c., from Old French total (14c.), from Medieval Latin totalis "entire, total" (as in summa totalis "sum total"), from Latin totus "all, all at once, the whole, entire, altogether," of unknown origin.
