The word 总数 is often used in mathematical contexts, but it can also be used in more general contexts to refer to the total number of something.The character 总 (zǒng) is derived from the oracle bone script, which is the earliest known form of Chinese writing. In the oracle bone script, the character 总 is depicted as a person standing on top of a hill, with his arms outstretched. This image is thought to represent the idea of "overall" or "general".The character 数 (shù) is also derived from the oracle bone script. In the oracle bone script, the character 数 is depicted as a person holding a tally stick. This image is thought to represent the idea of "number".The word 总数 (zǒng shù) is first attested in the Western Han dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD). It is used in the Book of Han, which is a history of the Western Han dynasty. In the Book of Han, the word 总数 is used to refer to the total number of people in a population.The word 总数 is still used today in Chinese. It is a common word in both written and spoken Chinese.
