etymology
  • Addenda and addendum both relate to additions, but addenda is the plural form while addendum is singular.
  • Remember, addenda ends with an a, just like the word extra, which implies more than one.
  • Use addendum when referring to one single addition or appendix.
  • Think of addenda as several items being added to a document, whereas addendum is just one.
  • If youre adding a single note at the end of a book, its an addendum; if youre adding several notes, theyre addenda.
