contable
/konˈtable/ · B2 · adj
accountant
🧮 contable = con + table: counting up the sums at the table with an abacus
Contable comes from Latin computare, 'to reckon together' (con + putare). An accountant is someone who counts things up, and anything countable can be tallied. Note: 'con-table' sounds like someone settling the books at a table.
