Which English word comes from the latin root scrib meaning write?

Answer 1

In the ancient, classical Latin, there are at least half a dozen words that derive from the verb 'scribere', which means 'to write'. For a 'scriba' is a clerk, notary or secretary who writes for a magistrate or senator. The act of writing, the authorship, and the composition all are called 'scriptio'. The verb 'scriptitare' means 'to write often'. A 'scriptor' includes the jobs of author, clerk, composer, scribe, secretary, and writer. The lines on the board of a popular game are called 'scriptula'. And 'scriptura' means 'writing', and 'scripturalis' 'of or pertaining to writing'. Likewise, there are at least half a dozen English language derivatives from the verb 'scribere'. For a scribe, as the modern-day 'scriba', is a direct derivative. The words scrip, as a small bit or piece of writing, and scriptare indirect derivatives through the neuter singular past participle, 'scriptum'. The word scriptorium is an indirect derivative through the masculine singular past participle, 'scriptus'. And the words scriptural and scriptureare indirect derivatives, through the respective words 'scripturalis' and 'scriptura'.
