Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin protonotarius, prothonotarius.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin protonotarius (also prothonotarius) high chancellor, chief secretary (8th cent.; frequently from 12th cent. in British sources) < Byzantine Greek πρωτονοτάριος (7th cent. in Sophronius) < ancient Greek πρωτο- proto- comb. form + Byzantine Greek νοτάριος (4th cent.) < classical Latin notārius notary n. Compare Middle French prothonotaire, protonotaire (c1370; French protonotaire), Catalan protonotari (1344), Spanish protonotario (13th cent.), Italian protonotario, protonotaro (beginning of the 15th cent.); also Middle Low German prōtonotārius, German Protonotarius, Protonotar (1438–9 as prothonotari).With Prothonotary Apostolic , Prothonotary Apostolical (see 2a) compare post-classical Latin Protonotarius Apostol. (1516 in the passage translated in quot. 1555), apparently an abbreviation for Protonotarius Apostolicus . With the α. forms compare the note at proto- comb. form; the present word is unusual in that the forms in -th- have come to predominate, probably as a result of their use in the titles of particular officers. The variant pronunciation with stress on the second syllable has a long history in English; absence of stress on the second element of the word is reflected from the 16th cent. in the forms prothonatary , prothonatory (compare the corresponding forms of prenotary n.). It may have originated in the post-classical Latin proˌtonoˈtārius and French proˌtonoˈtaire , with gradual change of the secondary stress into primary stress within English. The stress pattern ˌprothoˈnotary is probably after notary n.

1. A principal notary or chief clerk or recorder of a court of law.

†a. The holder of this office in Roman Byzantium and later, by extension, in Rome. historical. Obsolete.The application of this word to Rome by early modern English writers (see quot. 1600 at β. ) may have been influenced by sense 2.
