Etymology
The word 'pen' originated from the Latin word 'penna', which means feather or wing. The original pens were made from feathers, and the design evolved over time to the writing instruments we use today. The usage of pens has been traced back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Mesopotamians, who used reed pens to write on papyrus and clay tablets.
