From LISWiki
In old manuscripts, an explanation or interpretation of a word or phrase, sometimes written in a more familiar language, placed in the margin or above the line to which it refers. In printed works, a note in the margin is known as a side note and is usually set in type several sizes smaller than that of the text.
