Etymology
'transcription' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'transcriptio,' where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'scribere' meant 'to write.'
'transcriptio' transformed into the French word 'transcription,' and eventually became the modern English word 'transcription' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to write across or transfer,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the act of transcribing or a written version of something.'
