What's the difference between appendix and supplement?

Appendix


Definition:

  • (n.) Something appended or added; an appendage, adjunct, or concomitant.
  • (n.) Any literary matter added to a book, but not necessarily essential to its completeness, and thus distinguished from supplement, which is intended to supply deficiencies and correct inaccuracies.
