This makes counting easier and faster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word \u201ctally\u201d comes from the Latin word \u201cTalea\u201d which means \u2018twig, cutting.\u2019 In ancient times, people used twigs or tally sticks for the purpose of counting and as a memory aid device. They also carved tally marks on the walls of caves supposedly for keeping track of the number of animals or other important possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
