Word of the Week #9

The word that I came across was in an article in AOL News about allergies and pollen. The article titled "A Pollen Primer for Sneeze Season" by Katie Drummond had a word that was unfamiliar to me and that word was "tabulated." the sentence read:

To determine the best and worst cities for sufferers, the agency tabulated particles of pollen per cubic meter, along with mold spores, use of allergy medication and number of allergists per patient. "

According to Merriam Webster dictionary, to tabulate (v) means to:

1 : to put into tabular form
2 : to count, record, or list systematically

ex. I had to tabulate the amount of money that I had spent on my vacation this spring break.
