Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *kirjoittadak. Equivalent to kirja (“book, document”) + -oittaa. Original sense “to decorate with (carved, embroidered, etc.) patterns”; the sense “to write” developed after the introduction of literacy, and is attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (output c. 1543–1552).
