scribe

English уреди

Etymology уреди

From Middle English scribe, from Old French scribe (“scribe”), from Late Latin usage of scriba (“secretary”) (used in the Vulgate Bible translation to render Антички Грчки γραμματεύς (grammateús, “scribe, secretary”), which had been used in its turn to render the Хебрејски סופר‎ (“writer, scholar”)) from scribere (“to write, draw, draw up, draft (a paper), enlist, enroll, levy; orig. to scratch”), probably akin to scrobs (“a ditch, trench, grave”). Дублети of shrive.

The verb sense used in carpentry comes from the way a workman uses a compass to mark a line before cutting.
