Morphology

presentation + note

The meaning 'notes prepared to assist a presentation' is directly and compositionally derived from 'presentation' (delivering or displaying information to an audience) plus 'notes' (brief written messages). This noun–noun combination follows a standard and transparent English compounding pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

The phrase presentation notes comes from the simple idea of written notes made to use during a presentation. Imagine holding small cards and glancing at them to remember what to say, so they are 'prompts' that help a speaker.
