An abacus is a counting board or an ancient version of a calculator. Its first recorded use is by the ancient Sumerians in about 2500 BC. From that time on it seemed that all the ancient cultures used an abacus in some form or another. It is still used in parts of Asia and Africa today. The word itself is from the old Middle English which in turn took it from the Latin.
