Etymology
1. 1526, borrowing of L.
jota, variant spelling of Gk.
iota "the letter
-i-, the smallest letter in the alphabet, hence the least part of anything. The verb "to make a short note of" is attested from 1721.
2. The noun is borrowed from Latin iōta (“the letter iota of the Ancient Greek alphabet”), from Ancient Greek ἰῶτα (iôta, “ninth letter of the Ancient Greek alphabet; (figurative) very small part of writing, jot”), from Phoenician 𐤉 (y, “tenth letter of the Phoenician abjad, yodh”). Doublet of iota and yodh.
3. Etymology 1, noun sense 3 (“brief and hurriedly written note”) is derived from the verb.
4. The verb is probably borrowed from Scots jot, from English jot (noun): see above. See: Scots '
jot', English '
jot'.
