I'm looking for a synonym for "total", as in sum of multiple of parts, but with a negative connotation. The context is that a man finds all his sins combined—his total—in tangible form.

My first thought was culmination, but it doesn't have negative connotation. Any suggestions? What other words would work here?


A word for the sum of all your sins? "burden" has a somewhat negative connotation and is used figuratively.

  • "burden" - (noun) something that is emotionally difficult to bear.

or if you mean your liability to sin, "peccability" may fit.

  • peccability - capability of sinning; the common peccability of mankind.

With actual crimes it's called a rap sheet. Maybe you can use that.

And there, on the table, he found the rap sheet of his sins.
