Word origin

The word 'notch' is derived from the Old French word 'notche', which means 'a notch' or 'a cut'. It has roots in the Latin word 'notitia', meaning 'a mark' or 'a sign'. This suggests that the concept of notching has been recognized for centuries as a method of marking or indicating something on a surface. Its use has evolved over time, especially in technical and craft contexts, where notching is crucial for precise work and measurements. The transformation of the word from its roots to the modern day reflects the ongoing use of notches in various industries, including woodworking, metalworking, and electronics.
