summate

Combine into one

To summate is to add together or form a total.

The word appears mainly in technical contexts—biology, physiology, statistics—where multiple inputs combine into a cumulative effect: The nerve impulses summate to trigger a response.

In everyday English, sum up or total serve the same purpose with less formality.
