script

English 'script' comes from Middle English 'scrit', borrowed from Old French 'escrit', from Latin 'scriptum' meaning 'something written', itself from the verb 'scrībō', 'I write'.

The word began as Latin's plain term for 'a thing written', passed through Old French as 'escrit', and settled in Middle English as 'scrit' before reaching its modern English form and spelling.

The facts given trace only this single line back to Latin 'scrībō'; no other English cognate is documented here.
