Autogram

/ˈɔːtəɡræm/ noun

Definition

A signature or written mark made by someone in their own handwriting; an autograph.

Etymology

From Greek 'auto-' (self) and 'gram' (written mark). A rare synonym for autograph, used more in European languages than English.

Kelly Says

While 'autogram' is mostly forgotten in English, it perfectly captures what a signature is—the one thing a person writes that's uniquely theirs, impossible to fake perfectly.
