What does the root word scrib and scrip mean?

The root words scrib and scrip both come from the Latin word scribere, which means "to write".

Here's a breakdown:

* Scrib is used in words related to writing, such as:

* scribe: a person who writes or copies documents

* script: a written text, especially for a play or movie

* inscribe: to write or engrave words on a surface

* describe: to give an account of something in words

* subscribe: to agree to receive something regularly

* Scrip is often used in words related to written documents or certificates, such as:

* script: a written text, especially for a play or movie

* scripture: sacred writings

* prescription: a written order from a doctor for medicine

* transcript: a written copy of a spoken or recorded document

While both roots share the same origin, they have slightly different connotations. "Scrib" is more general and encompasses a wider range of writing-related meanings, while "scrip" is more specific and often refers to written documents or certificates.
