notability
注目性
解説 Definition
著名である状態、または注目を集める程度。人物や事柄が広く認識され、公に記録される価値のある特質を指します。
Notability is the quality of being important, well known, or worthy of attention. It is often used when judging whether a person, event, or subject is significant enough to be recognized publicly. The word is more common in formal discussion than in casual speech.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
notable を知っていれば覚えやすい語です。-ity は quality, ability と同じく「性質・状態」にする語尾なので、notability は直訳すると「notable であること」。fame が『有名さそのもの』に寄りやすいのに対し、notability は『注目に値する度合い』『話題や記録に載るだけの目立ち方』という感覚。人物だけでなく事件・作品・地域にも使えるので、“notice されるレベル”と結びつけると残りやすいです。
See the structure: `notable` + `-ity`, so it is the quality of being notable enough. It often appears in formal phrases like `establish notability` or `notability criteria`, especially when deciding whether something deserves attention or a record. That makes it easier to remember as a judgment word, not just simple fame.

notability の語源・成り立ち Etymology
notability は notable＋-ity。notable はラテン語 notare「印をつける」から派生した notabilis「注目に値する」が古フランス語を経て入った語。『印が付くほど目立つ』感覚から「注目性・著名さ」となり、関連語は note, notice。
Notability comes from notable + -ity. Notable came through Old French from Latin notabilis, from notare, meaning "to mark," and it is related to note and notice. The idea moved from being marked out to being worthy of attention or special notice.
