Definitions of marginalia

The notes a student takes while reading often end up in the margins of the book. This marginalia might help the reader think critically and carefully about the text, or even act as a study aid later when there's a test on the material. Marginalia gets its name from the fact that it's written in the margin, which in turn comes from the Latin marginem, ‘edge or border.’
