Root Explanation

Endnote → It is formed from "end" (from Old English *endian*, meaning to finish or conclude) and "note" (from Latin *nota*, meaning a mark or sign). The word "endnote" refers to a note placed at the end of a document or book, serving as a reference or explanation for the content.

Memory Tip

Think of a note that comes at the 'end' of something — that's why an endnote is a note placed at the conclusion.
