Definition
Writing boards with a flat surface and a clip at the top to hold papers in place, allowing writing on the go; plural form.
Etymology
Compound of 'clip' (from Old Norse 'klippa,' to cut) plus 'board.' The clipboard emerged in the 20th century as a practical tool for writers and officials working in field conditions.
Kelly Says
The clipboard is one of those perfect inventions that seems so obvious now that we forget someone actually had to invent it—it democratized note-taking by making it possible to write anywhere, and it became the symbol of authority and officialdom.
