Etymology

The word 'annotator' originates from the Latin 'annotare', meaning 'to note or to add notes'. This Latin term combines 'ad-', meaning 'to', and 'notare', meaning 'to mark or to note'. The usage of the term in the context of adding comments or notes to texts evolved over the centuries, particularly with the rise of scholarly and literary works that required detailed explanations or references. By the 20th century, the term became more prevalent in academic and technological fields, particularly in the context of computer science and data processing. As the importance of data labeling in machine learning grew, the role of annotators, both human and automated, became integral to the development of algorithms that rely on accurately labeled datasets.
