Definitions and meaning of amount

amount

Etymology

From Middle English amounten (“to mount up to, come up to, signify”), from Old French amonter (“to amount to”), from amont, amunt (“uphill, upward”), from the prepositional phrase a mont (“toward or to a mountain or heap”), from Latin ad montem, from ad (“to”) + montem, accusative of mons (“mountain”).

Pronunciation

  • enPR: ə.mount', IPA(key): /əˈmaʊnt/
  • Rhymes: -aʊnt

Noun

amount (plural amounts)

  1. The total, aggregate or sum of material (not applicable to discrete numbers or units or items in standard English).
  2. A quantity or volume.
  3. (nonstandard, sometimes proscribed) The number (the sum) of elements in a set.

Usage notes

  • Some consider the term amount to be reserved for immeasurable things (that is, things that one cannot put a specific quantity to, such as intangibles), and consider the term quantity to be the correct term for things that can be measured. However, even when referring to something measurable, the use of the term amount is so widespread that the two terms are in practice interchangeable for measurable things.

Hyponyms

  • bolus
  • notional amount
