From Italian conto and French compte, both from Latin computus ('a reckoning'), from computare. An account is first of all a count: the ledger sense came before the bank.

Examples
.
I have an account at a small bank.
.
She paid the whole sum from her account.
.
The figure on the account is not correct.
is the ledger sense of account, never the telling sense: an account you give of something is a rakonto, a separate root that only looks as though it contains this one. The bank and the website share the word, so you open a at a and also at a site.
