合計する
解説 Definition
totaling は total(合計する、総額が〜になる)の現在分詞・動名詞です。「合計する」「合計で〜になる」という意味で、金額や数をまとめて示すときに使います。
Adding numbers, amounts, or costs to find their combined sum, or amounting to a stated overall figure. This is the usual American spelling of the -ing form of total.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 total に -ing を付けた米式綴りで、語末の l は重ねず totaling とします。英式では totalling と l を重ねるのが一般的です。totaling the bills なら「請求額を足し上げる」、costs totaling $500 なら「合計500ドルになる」と、計算する用法と総額を示す用法を区別しましょう。
Connect totaling with total, the complete amount produced when all parts are combined. In American English, add -ing without doubling the final l: total becomes totaling. British English usually writes totalling. Remember two useful patterns. Someone can be totaling the bills, meaning they are adding the amounts together. Alternatively, costs totaling $500 means the costs amount to $500 altogether. In both uses, the memory image is several separate numbers being brought together into one final sum.

totaling の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 totalis(全体の)から。totus(全部の)が語根で、total(合計)に動詞化接尾辞 -ing が付いた形。関連語: totality(全体性)、subtitle(sub+title だが totalと同根ではない)。「すべてを一つにまとめる」が原義で、数字を足し合わせる意味に発展した。
Totaling is the American English -ing form of total; British English generally uses totalling. Total came through French from Medieval Latin totalis, meaning “whole” or “entire,” which derives from Latin totus, “all” or “the whole.” Its noun sense developed into the complete sum, and the verb consequently came to mean either calculating that sum or amounting to a particular figure.
