The particular style or form in which a person writes letters and words by hand with a pen or pencil.
From 'hand' (Old English 'hand,' Proto-Germanic origin) plus 'writing' (Old English 'writan,' originally meaning 'to scratch' or 'to mark'), literally 'marking made by hand.'
Your handwriting is as unique as your fingerprints—and the word itself is a direct compound showing how writing was originally understood as 'hand-marking,' since writing with your hand was the *only* way before printing!
