/ˌkɑmpjəˈteɪʃ(ə)n/

Forms: late Middle English computacioun, late Middle English computacyoun, late Middle English–1600s computacion, late Middle English– computation; Scottish pre-1700 computacion, pre-1700 computatioun, pre-1700 computatyown, pre-1700 1700s– computation.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French computation; Latin computātiōn-, computātiō.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French computation calculation (14th cent. in Anglo-Norman; French computation ) and its etymon classical Latin computātiōn-, computātiō calculation, reckoning, form or result of a particular calculation < computāt- , past participial stem of computāre compute v. + -iō -ion suffix¹. Compare Spanish computación (late 15th cent. as computaçion), Portuguese computação (1563), Italian computazione (a1499).

a. The action or process of computing, reckoning, or counting; arithmetical or mathematical calculation; an instance of this.
