Etymology
'tabulate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'tabula', where 'tabula' meant 'table, board'.
'tabulate' changed from Late Latin/Medieval Latin 'tabulare' (to make into a table) and was influenced by French forms before becoming the modern English 'tabulate'.
Initially it related to 'a board or tablet' ('tabula'), and over time it evolved to mean 'to arrange or record information in table form' and 'to count/compile data'.
