The English phrase 'gl account' is translated into Spanish as cuenta de mayor.

A cuenta de mayor is an account used in a general ledger to record and summarize financial transactions.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of cuenta (account) and de mayor (of general/greater), referring to the general ledger.

In Spanish, the same word cuenta is used for a bank account, a restaurant bill and a mathematical sum.
The word cuenta comes from the verb contar, which can mean both 'to count' and 'to tell a story'.
