Abstract

Rationem reddere : l'expression latine dit l'ancienneté de la pratique. Un intendant, un magistrat qui quitte ses fonctions, rendent des comptes. Ratio renvoie au calcul abstrait (les comptes), mais aussi au support physique. Celui qui rend les comptes, remet une tablette, un parchemin, à celui à qui il rend des comptes. Il y a donc deux personnes : l'une qui confie une tâche à l'autre. Lors d'une échéance, la seconde remet le cahier de comptes à la première. La personne qui reçoit les comptes les accepte ou non. Il existe un sens figuré : rationem reddere de aliqua re, qui signifie rendre des comptes à propos de quelque chose. Là, il n'y a plus forcément de chiffres, ni de support physique.
