Etymology
The term 'pencilled' originates from the word 'pencil,' which itself comes from the Latin 'penicillus,' meaning 'little tail'—referring originally to the fine hairs of a brush used for writing or drawing. The modern pencil was developed in the 16th century when graphite was discovered and shaped into sticks. The adoption of the pencil as a writing tool solidified its importance in education and the arts. 'Pencilled' as a term carries the essence of temporality and flexibility, as writing with a pencil allows for modification and adjustment, distinguishing it from more permanent forms of marking. Through the centuries, the pencil has evolved, but the action of 'pencilling' remains linked to creativity and ease of revision.
