覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
notable（注目に値する）が分かれば、notably はその副詞で「目立ってそう言えるほど特に」と押さえると覚えやすいです。especially が単に「特に」なのに対し、notably は「他と比べて際立つ点をわざわざ示す」感じ。notably different, notably absent, Notably, ... の形でよく出ます。文中では“注目ポイントを一段強くマークする語”として読むと定着します。
Link it to `notable`, meaning something worth noticing. Then `notably` becomes an adverb for pointing out a detail that stands out more than others. It often appears in patterns like `notably different` or at the start of a sentence: `Notably, ...`.

notably の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 notabilis（注目すべき）から派生。語根 not-（知る、記す）+ 接尾辞 -able → notable に副詞語尾 -ly が付いた形。note（メモ）や notorious（悪名高い）も同根で、いずれも「人に知られる」が原義である。
"Notably" comes from "notable" plus the adverb ending "-ly." "Notable" goes back to Latin notabilis, from a root meaning "to know" or "to mark down," the same source behind "note." Its history shows a shift from "able to be noticed or known" to the modern sense of "especially" or "in a noticeable way"; compare also "notorious."
