Definition
A written abbreviation for 'addition' commonly used in business, academic, and technical documents to save space.
Etymology
Modern abbreviation from Latin 'additio' (adding to), using the convention of shortened forms in formal documentation that became standard in the 20th century.
Kelly Says
Before texting and digital communication, people like accountants and librarians developed entire systems of abbreviations—'addn' is a tiny artifact of how people dealt with filling limited space on paper before computers.
