Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryFrom Middle English talie, from Anglo-Norman tallie and Old French taille (“notch in a piece of wood signifying a debt”), from Medieval Latin tallia, from Latin talea (“a cutting, rod, stick”). Doublet of taille and talea.
The same root word also appears in Swedish talja, Danish talje (“tally”), which are related to Old East Norse tælgia (“to carve”), which may be related to the English term (compare score, to Old Norse skor (“notch”)). Also compare Proto-Germanic *talą (“number”).
