Etymology

The word 'jotter' derives from the verb 'jot', which means to write something quickly and carelessly. The term has its origins in the late 16th century, where 'jot' was used in English to describe brief notes or marks made on paper. Over time, the noun form 'jotter' emerged to specifically refer to a physical object designed for jotting down notes. The idea of carrying a small notebook or pad became popular as the need to capture fleeting thoughts and ideas increased, especially with the rise of professionalism and education. Today, jotters are available in various formats, from simple spiral-bound pads to sophisticated leather-bound notebooks, reflecting the versatility and enduring need for tools that aid in quick writing.
