Where this word comes from
Inherited from Middle French compter, conter, from Old French compter, conter, cunter, from Latin computāre. Doublet of conter and computer. The learned spelling -mpt- was originally used interchangeably with the phonetic spelling -nt-. In modern French they have been split in such a way that the Latinizing form represents the sense “to count”, which was already present in Latin, while the native form represents the derived sense “to tell” (see conter).
