Word origin

The term 'notarized' originates from the word 'notary,' which has its roots in the Latin word 'notarius,' meaning 'a clerk or scribe.' Notaries played a crucial role in medieval Europe, acting as official witnesses to various transactions and ensuring that documents were legitimate. The process of notarization became formalized over time, especially as trade and commerce expanded and required more reliable documentation.

The terms surrounding notarized documents have been shaped by legal traditions across different cultures, emphasizing trust and authenticity in serious agreements.
