Definitions and meaning of compter

compter

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈkɒmptə/

Noun

compter (plural compters)

  1. (obsolete) A counter (token used for keeping count).
  2. (historical) A prison attached to a city court; a counter.

French

Etymology

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).
