The art or practice of writing in shorthand; a system of abbreviated or rapid writing.
From Greek 'brachy-' meaning short and 'graphy' meaning writing, used since ancient times to describe compressed writing systems.
Brachygraphy is how ancient scholars managed to preserve massive libraries—by using shorthand abbreviations, they could fit thousands of pages of knowledge into scrolls that would otherwise be impossible to store!
