Morphology

notebook = note + book (semi-transparent) = note + book

The digital 'notebook' is a domain-specific metaphorical extension of the physical notebook (a book for notes) and requires technical knowledge to fully understand.

Etymology

Notebook is made from the parts note ('a short record') and book ('pages to write on'), and a digital notebook is like a book of notes on your computer. Digital notebooks keep text, pictures, and even small pieces of code and results together, which is why we call these interactive documents 'notebooks'.
