Số nhiều: documentsPhân từ 2: documentedV-ing: documenting

The term carries a heavy association with authority, permanence, and verification. When something is documented, it is transformed from a fleeting moment or a spoken word into a fixed piece of evidence that can be referenced later. It suggests a level of formality and objectivity, often used in legal, academic, or administrative settings. In a digital context, the word has shifted from referring to a physical piece of paper to any structured data file. While a notebook is for private thoughts, a document is typically intended to be shared, filed, or archived as a formal record of truth.

Countable when referring to a specific file or piece of paper, such as a passport or a Word file.
