Etymology

The term 'notched' derives from the word 'notch', which has its origins in the late Middle English word 'nocche', meaning 'a cut or indentation'. The use of the word can be traced back to Old French 'noche', which means 'a mark on a surface'. Notches have been utilized since ancient times as a method of recording, marking, or providing grip, serving various practical purposes in tools, crafts, and architecture. Notching has been particularly significant in woodworking, where it allows pieces to fit together tightly. Over centuries, the term evolved to encompass not only the physical characteristics of objects but also metaphorical uses in language, representing marking a stage or achievement.
