annotated

the word 'annotated' originates from the latin verb 'annotare', which is a compound of 'ad-' (meaning 'to') and 'notare' (meaning 'to mark or note'). 'notare' itself derives from 'nota', meaning a mark or sign. the core concept is the act of adding marks or notes to something. the latin past participle 'annotatus' entered english, where the suffix '-ed' was applied, following the standard pattern for forming participial adjectives. thus, the literal meaning of "having been marked with notes" evolved into the modern sense of a text or illustration furnished with explanatory comments.

Structure: annot (mark) + at (verb suffix) + ed (adjective suffix) annot (from latin 'annotare', meaning 'to note down, to remark on'), at (latin verbal suffix forming the past participle stem), ed (english suffix forming adjectives from past participles, indicating a state or condition).
