Root Explanation

Transcript → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across) and "scribere" (meaning to write). The word refers to something that has been written across or copied from one source to another.

Memory Tip

Think of writing something 'across' ('trans-') from one place to another ('scribere' means to write) — that's why a transcript is a written copy.
