the.com/description

means A written or spoken account that represents what something is like, laying out its details and qualities for someone who can't see it directly.

from From Latin describere, 'to write down, copy off, sketch' — a fusion of de- ('down') and scribere ('to write,' the ancestor of scribe, script, and manuscript). The Latin verb was already used for mapping and outlining shapes before it settled into English in the 1300s–1400s as 'description,' carrying that same sense of tracing something in words the way a stylus traces a line.
