typing
UK: ˈtaɪpɪŋ | US: ˈtaɪpɪŋ
n. the action or skill of writing text by pressing keys on a typewriter, computer keyboard, or touchscreen.
n. (computing) the process of assigning a data type to a variable or object in programming.
The word "typing" derives from the verb "type," which originated in the late 15th century from Latin "typus" (figure, image) and Greek "typos" (blow, impression). The suffix "-ing" transforms the action into a noun, reflecting the mechanical process of imprinting characters (historically via typewriters, now extended to digital input). The evolution mirrors technological shifts from physical imprinting to abstract data classification in computing.
