Meaning:
A scrivener is a person who writes or transcribes documents professionally. In modern usage, the term often refers to a person who specializes in preparing legal documents.
Origin:
The word "scrivener" has been used in English since the 13th century. It originally referred to someone who wrote and copied documents, such as deeds, wills, and contracts. In the Middle Ages, scriveners were often employed by kings, nobles, and wealthy merchants to prepare legal and financial documents.
Over time, the role of the scrivener evolved. In the 18th century, scriveners began to specialize in preparing legal documents. By the 19th century, the term "scrivener" had come to be associated primarily with people who prepared legal documents for clients.
Today, scriveners are still employed by law firms, businesses, and government agencies to prepare a wide range of legal documents, including contracts, wills, trusts, and deeds.
