Root Explanation

Noted → It is formed from "note" (from Latin "nota", meaning a mark or sign) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating past tense or completed action). The word "noted" means having been marked or recognized for something, often implying that it has been acknowledged or recorded.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'mark' ('nota') that indicates something important has been 'recognized' or 'acknowledged' — that's why 'noted' means something has been marked as significant.
