English

Etymology

note +? -ability

Noun

notability (countable and uncountable, plural notabilities)

1. (uncountable) The quality or state of being notable or eminent.
2. (countable) A notable or eminent person or thing.
3. Locally eminent people; the bourgeoisie or upper middle class
   • 2002 Jonathan B. Knudsen, Justus Möser and the German Enlightenment p.54 ?ISBN

     Just as the notability lived in its own social universe between the common citizenry and the aristocracy, so too did its intellectual universe express this complex mediation.

   • 2014 Keith David Watenpaugh, Being Modern in the Middle East: Revolution, Nationalism, Colonialism, and the Arab Middle Class p.104 (Princeton University Press) ?ISBN

     Such petitions were part of the role of the notability as understood at the time; a manifestation of their social hegemony was the obligation to speak for or represent the local community to the imperial center.
