[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Latin errātum, neuter of errātus (“mistaken”).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (UK) IPA(key): /ɛˈɹɑːtəm/

Noun
[edit]erratum (plural errata)
- A published notice reporting an error belatedly discovered in a previous publication.
- Synonym: corrigendum
- When the journal's editors found out about the misreported details, they issued an erratum.
- An error, especially one in a printed work.
Usage notes
[edit]In the print-only era, errata as published notices were vital because there was no practical way to recall and fix publications already printed and distributed; the readers needed to be told that, for example, "in the July issue, there was an error on page 42, where X should have been Y." In the digital era, online publications often fix the error, such that, for example, the version of record of a scientific journal article, being an electronic file residing at its DOI, will contain the corrected text that the erratum also reports (so that readers will no longer even encounter the uncorrected version at all).
