Etymology
1. 1622, alteration of Fr.
décompte, from O.Fr.
descont, from
desconter "count out" (13c.), from
des- "away" +
conter "to count" (see count (v.)).
2. Alteration of French descompte, décompte, from Old French disconter, desconter (“reckon off, account back, discount”), from Medieval Latin discomputō (“to deduct, discount”), from Latin dis- (“away”) + computō (“to reckon, count”). By surface analysis, dis- + count.
