annexures

Description

An annexure is an official supplementary document attached to a main contract, report, or legal instrument — like a supporting appendix that provides extra details, evidence, or specifications without cluttering the primary text. Think of it as the 'evidence folder' stapled to the back of a court filing or the 'technical specs sheet' bundled with a government tender.

Examples

The lease agreement includes three annexures detailing maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and penalty clauses.

Please refer to Annexure B for the full list of certified equipment specifications.

All financial statements were submitted as annexure to the annual audit report.

Each bidder must submit a completed compliance checklist as Annexure D with their proposal.

Root

annex

Comes from the Latin verb 'annectere' (past participle 'annexus'), formed from 'ad-' (meaning 'to' or 'toward') + 'nectere' (meaning 'to bind' or 'to connect'). It conveys the idea of attaching, adding, or joining something subordinate to a main document or entity. Examples include annex, annexation, annexure, annexment.
