Deserving attention or notice; remarkable or significant enough to be mentioned or recorded.
Compound of 'note' (from Latin 'nota' meaning 'mark' or 'sign') and 'worthy' (from Old English 'weorþig' meaning 'having value'). The combination emerged in English around the 16th century to describe things deserving of being noted down.
This word literally means 'worth making a note about' - it carries the implication that something is so significant it should be written down for posterity. In our digital age, being 'noteworthy' has evolved to mean being worth sharing, posting, or going viral.
