handwrite

/hˈændɹaɪt/ verb

To write something manually, normally used to emphasise that it is not being typed.

Word Origin A compound of hand and write. Write comes from Proto-Germanic wrītaną 'to carve, scratch' — originally, writing was carving runes into wood or stone. Handwrite means to write by hand, as opposed to typing. The root hand gives us handful, handle, handmade, and handy. Write gives us writer, rewrite, and typewriter. So handwrite is the act of forming letters with your hand, a direct connection to the ancient carving of words.
