Etymology: "Summates" is the third-person singular present form of "summate," which means to add up totals. The verb is built from "sum," which reaches English through Old French "summe" from Latin "summa," meaning "the highest part" or "total," with the "-ate" ending added to turn the noun into a verb. Its inflection is the regular one, so "summates" simply describes a single subject, such as a person or program, doing the adding.
