Well you got it have right. Compute is usually involved in mathematics... numbers, adding, multiplying etc. Back then, thats what computers were for. Thus compute (verb) and ers (now its a noun)

Yes, computers were once used for "computing" math problems. Believe it or not, the computers have only been majorly devoloped 4 times.

There used to be a HUGE computer, and could only solve a few math problems at a time. That one was underdeveloped

The next one could do them faster. There was a moth in the open hard drive and caused errors and thats where "bugs" came from.

The next one could do multiple math problems in under a split second. This one was more developed and smaller

The ones we use today are compatible with multiple OS and such.

Theres some not-so specific history for you.

Well, you compute things on a computer so thats probably why they call it that. Very Happy

Latin roots computus and computare meaning calculate. The two roots are the English equivalent of compute.
