Root Explanation
Typewritten → It is formed from "type" (from Greek "typos", meaning a model or impression) and "written" (from Old English "writan", meaning to write). The word "typewritten" refers to text that has been produced using a typewriter, creating a model or impression of written text.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'model' or 'impression' ('typos') that has been 'written' ('writan') — that's what typewritten means.
