Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Addendum

Addendum refers to something that is added;

specifically, it refers to a section of a book added to the main

or original text that might include

explanation, comment, or supplementarymaterial.

It comes from a Latin word of the same meaning,

and it is often used in its Latin plural form addenda

(as opposed to addendums) when it is applied to a supplement of a book.

In mathematics, the related addend,

which is a shortening of addendum,

refers to a number or quantity to be added

to a preceding one or to a sum already accumulated.

4 and 9, for example, are addends in 4+9 = 13.
