Sum.ma cum. Semua @Mly: sum of all

sigma
18th letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding to Latin S, a metathesis of Hebrew samekh

From Ancient Greek σῖγμα (sîgma), σίγμα (sígma), probably from the root sig- as seen in σίζω (sízō) (< sig-yo "to hiss") + -μ
Math: The symbol Σ, used to indicate summation of a set or series.

.. The alternative form of sigma (ς) must be used in word-final position. The Greek letter sigma was derived from the Phoenician letter šīn, meaning tooth. The small letter sigma (σ) is used to represent standard deviation in math and statistics. It is also used to show syllable in linguistic, a shielding constant in chemistry and sum of divisors in math. The capital letter sigma (Σ) means to sum up in mathematics
