Etymology: "Nota" is the plural of "notum," a Latin noun, and it carries the sense of an annotation or remark added to a text to clarify it. Its ultimate source is the Ancient Greek "nôton," which meant "back," the back of the body. The plural form in English is used for a set of such remarks, one "nota" for each marginal comment.
