er•ra•ta
(ɪˈrɑ tə, ɪˈreɪ-, ɪˈræt ə)n., pl. -tas for 2.
1. pl. of erratum.
2. a list of errors and their corrections inserted, usu. on a separate page or slip of paper, in a book or other publication; corrigenda.
[1625–35]
usage: errata is orig. the plural of erratum, a borrowing from Latin. By the mid-17th century, errata had come to be used as a singular noun meaning “a list of errors or corrections for a book.” Despite objections by some, this use is standard in English: The errata begins on page 237. When errata clearly means “errors,” it takes plural verbs and pronouns.
