Telling someone about something, officially informing them of news or an important message.
From Latin 'notificare' (to make known), combining 'notus' (known) and 'facere' (to make). The gerund form adds '-ing' to show an ongoing action.
Before emails and texts, the act of notifying someone required physical effort—a royal messenger notifying you of something meant they rode for days, which is why the message had better be important.
