The word "transcript" refers to a written or printed version of something that has been spoken or recorded. It often represents the official record of someone's academic performance, like grades from a school or university, and can also refer to written records of conversations, interviews, or any spoken material.
The word "transcript" originates from the Latin term "transcriptus," which is the past participle of "transcribere," meaning "to write across" or "to copy." The prefix "trans-" means "across," and "scribere" means "to write."
