1. (Old Latin) to determine the total value of something
   • 2009, Aulus Gellius, Attic Nights (in English), page 67:

     Invenimus autem in Conmentario Nigidiano, verbum “autumo” compositum ex “ab” praepositione et verbo “aestumo” dictumque intercise “autumo” quasi “abaestumo,” quod significaret “totum aestumo,” tamquam “abnumero.” Sed, quod sit cum honore multo dictum P. Nigidii, hominis eruditissimi, audacius hoc argutiusque esse videtur quam verius.

     But I have found in the Commentary of Nigidius that the verb autumo is formed from the preposition ab and the verb aestumo (estimate) and that autumo is a contracted form of abaestumo, signifying totum aestumo, on the analogy of abnumero. But, be it said with great respect for Publius Nigidius, a most learned man, this seems to be rather bold and clever than true.
