Etymology

The word 'notify' originates from the Latin 'notificare', which means 'to make known, to inform'. The term combines 'notus', meaning 'known', with 'facere', which means 'to make or do'. In the late 15th century, 'notify' began to be used in English, primarily in formal contexts where official information was conveyed to individuals or groups. Over time, the usage of 'notify' has expanded to encompass both formal and informal awakenings, as seen in the notification features common in modern technology and communication systems. Today, it is widely used in various contexts, from legal notifications to casual reminders among friends.
