Etymology

The term 'jotted' is derived from the verb 'jot', which dates back to the early 17th century. It is believed to have originated from the Middle English word 'jot', meaning a small amount or a short note, which itself may be related to the earlier word 'jot', referring to a small piece or particle. The late Latin word 'jota', meaning 'a small letter', likely influenced its evolution as well. Over the years, 'jot' took on the connotation of writing briefly or casually, especially to capture fleeting thoughts. The use of 'jotted' as the past tense reflects this practice of speedy note-taking, emphasizing the informal and often spontaneous nature of the action. It has become a common term in everyday language, particularly in educational and professional settings where quick documentation is necessary.
