Root Explanation

Typescript → It is formed from "type" (from Greek "typos", meaning a mark or impression) and "script" (from Latin "scriptus", meaning written). The word refers to a written system of types or marks, specifically in programming languages.

Memory Tip

Think of 'type' as a mark or category and 'script' as something written — together, they describe a written system for categorizing code.
