Etymology
Summarization comes from the Latin word summa meaning 'sum' or 'total' and from the verb summarize ('to give the main points'), just like getting the sum of numbers to see the whole. So, summarization is the act of making a short, clear 'sum' of information by putting the main ideas together.
