Root Breakdown
Root-derivedFrom Latin nota ('mark') via notitia ('a being known'). To notice is to let a mark register in your mind. As a noun it shifted to the public mark that informs — a posted announcement — and then to the warning given before something happens (give notice).

Notice sits at the hinge between perceiving and announcing. The same 'mark' idea splits two ways: a mark that catches your eye (you notice it) and a mark you put up for others (a notice on the board). The phrase 'give notice' adds time — a marked-out warning before quitting or eviction.
