from Built from Greek 'stenos' (narrow, tight) and 'graphein' (to write) — literally 'narrow writing,' a nod to the compressed, abbreviated shorthand symbols that let someone outrun a speaking human. The word surfaces in the 1800s alongside the rise of practical shorthand systems, when courts and businesses first needed a verbatim record of fast speech and the machines and methods to make it possible.
