Where does the word notably come from?

"Notably" stems from the Middle English word "notabily," meaning "in a noticeable manner" or "remarkably." This word itself comes from the Latin "notabilis," which combines "nota" (mark, sign) and "-bilis" (capable of being). Therefore, "notably" signifies something that stands out, is marked, or deserves special attention. It has been used in English since the 14th century and continues to signify prominence or distinction.
