enumerates

Counts them off

Enumerates means to list or count items one by one.

Someone who enumerates reasons for a decision names them individually, often in sequence: She enumerated the complaints against him.

The word carries a sense of thoroughness—to enumerate is to account for each item rather than summarize.

In programming, to enumerate is to iterate through a collection, processing elements sequentially.
