Etymology 1

The noun is borrowed from Latin iōta (“the letter iota of the Ancient Greek alphabet”), from Ancient Greek ἰῶτα (iôta, “ninth letter of the Ancient Greek alphabet; (figurative) very small part of writing, jot”), from Phoenician 𐤉 (y, “tenth letter of the Phoenician abjad, yodh”). Doublet of iota.

Sense 3 (“brief and hurriedly written note”) is derived from the verb.

The verb is probably borrowed from Scots jot, from English jot (noun): see above.
