Hello,

What does it mean? And from which meaning of note does it derive from? And in which context do we use it?

Thank you,

Nawee

On a separate note = by the way; to change the topic somewhat.

I have a strong urge to tell you that it derives from a musical note, but I think more probably it is from this definition (from Am Heritage Dict):

10. Notice; observation: 'quietly took note of the scene'.
