TYPEWRITING Meaning and
Definition
-
Typewriting refers to the process of producing written text or documents using a typewriter. It involves manually pressing keys on a typewriter, which causes characters to be imprinted on paper or other writing surfaces.
The typewriting process begins with the typist inserting a blank sheet of paper into the typewriter. As the typist presses down on the keys, metal typebars with embossed characters strike an inked ribbon and transfer the imprint onto the paper. Each key corresponds to a specific character, ranging from uppercase and lowercase letters to punctuation marks, numbers, and special symbols. By striking the appropriate keys in a sequence, the typist expresses their thoughts or conveys information.
Typewriting has historically been a common method for producing written communication, predominantly during the 19th and 20th centuries. It found extensive use in administrative and clerical work, journalism, personal correspondence, and document creation.
With advancements in technology, typewriting has been largely replaced by word processing software and computer keyboards. However, typewriting retains some popularity among collectors, enthusiasts, and individuals who appreciate the tactile experience and aesthetics of using a vintage typewriter.
Overall, typewriting is a manual process of typing text using a typewriter, involving the physical activation of keys to imprint characters on paper or other printing mediums.

Etymology of TYPEWRITING
The word "typewriting" is derived from the combination of two words: "type" and "writing".
The word "type" originally comes from the Latin word "typus", which means "figure" or "model". It was later borrowed into English to refer to the individual letters or characters used in printing.
The word "writing" comes from the Old English word "wrītan", which means "to form letters or characters on a surface". It is related to the Old Norse word "rita" and the Old High German word "riƀan".
The combination of these two words, "type" and "writing", therefore, results in the term "typewriting", which refers to the process of writing or composing text using a typewriter.
