stenography. Though its practice dates back to the ancient Greeks, the word stenography is first recorded in the early 17th century. The word derives from the Greek stenos, “narrow,” and graphein, “to write,” literally meaning “narrow writing.” Other synonyms are the rare brachygraphy, “short writing,” and short- hand, which dates back to 1636 and is the most common term today. |
