Summary: The Latin root word *scrib* and its variant *script* both mean "write." These roots are the word origin of a fair number of English vocabulary words, including [*scrib*]e, de[*scrib*]e, post[*script*], and manu[*script*]. The root *scrib* is easily recalled through the word [*scrib*]e, whose job is "writing," and *script*, a "written" document.
