Usage Note

Apostillar means to annotate a text with marginal notes (apostillas) or, in spoken contexts, to add a remark or interjection to what someone has just said. It is a fairly formal or literary verb; in everyday speech añadir or agregar cover the same ground. The related noun apostilla (f) refers to a marginal gloss or, in administrative usage, the Hague Apostille certification.
