    count

    подсчитывать

    Count

    Граф или графиня — титул в европейских странах для дворянина разного статуса, но исторически считается, что он представляет приблизительный ранг, промежуточный между высшими и низшими титулами дворянства. Слово «счет» вошло в английский язык из французского комте, сам по себе от латыни — в его винительном падеже, означающем «компаньон», а позднее «компаньон императора, делегат императора». Прилагательная форма слова «comital». Британский и ирландский эквивалент — граф. Альтернативные названия для графа «Граф» в структуре дворянства используются в других странах, таких как Граф в Германии и Хакушаку во время японской Императорской эры. Count or Countess is a title in European countries for a noble of varying status, but historically deemed to convey an approximate rank intermediate between the highest and lowest titles of nobility. The word count came into English from the French comte, itself from Latin comes—in its accusative comitem—meaning «companion», and later «companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor». The adjective form of the word is «comital». The British and Irish equivalent is an earl. Alternative names for the «Count» rank in the nobility structure are used in other countries, such as Graf in Germany and Hakushaku during the Japanese Imperial era.
