Etymology
The term 'spellcheck' originated from the combination of the words 'spell' and 'check'. The verb 'spell', referring to the act of forming words with letters, can be traced back to Middle English 'spellen', which means to say aloud or to speak. This itself is derived from Old English 'spellian', meaning to tell or to relate. The word 'check' comes from the Old French 'eschequier' and ultimately from the Persian 'shah', which referred to a king or, in broader terms, an authoritative figure. The modern concept of spellchecking evolved with the advent of word processing software in the late 1970s and 1980s, where automated tools began to assist writers by checking their work for spelling errors. This has made it an integral part of digital communication today.
