notably
UK: ˈnəʊtəbli | US: ˈnoʊtəbli
adv. in a way that is worthy of attention or remarkable
adv. used to single out a significant example or feature
The word "notably" originates from the Latin "nota" (a mark or sign), which evolved into the Old French "notable" (worthy of note). The English suffix "-ly" was added to form the adverb. The morpheme "not" preserves the original sense of marking or distinguishing something, while "-able" conveys capability or worthiness. Over time, "notably" came to emphasize prominence or exceptional quality, reflecting its root in observable distinction.
