Meaning:
A person who writes or types for another person, especially as a secretary or assistant.
Origin:
The word "amanuensis" originated in ancient Rome, where slaves or lower-status individuals were employed to write or transcribe dictation for their masters or superiors. The term was originally used to refer to scribes who copied manuscripts by hand.
Over time, the meaning of "amanuensis" expanded to include anyone who wrote or typed for another person, regardless of their status or occupation. The term is still commonly used today to refer to secretaries, assistants, and other administrative personnel who perform writing or data entry tasks on behalf of their employers or clients.
