What “shorthand” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediashorthand/ˈʃɔːthænd/
- nounA rough and rapid method of writing by substituting symbols for letters, words, etc.
- verbTo render (spoken or written words) into shorthand.
Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of writing as compared to longhand, a more common method of writing a language. The process of writing in shorthand is called stenography, from the Greek stenos (narrow) and graphein. It has also been called brachygraphy, from Greek brachys (short), and tachygraphy, from Greek tachys, depending on whether compression or speed of writing is the goal.
