Etymology

The word 'typed' is derived from the verb 'type,' which originates from the late 14th century Middle English term 'type.' The term is borrowed from Latin 'typus' meaning 'a model or pattern,' which in turn comes from the Greek word 'tupos' meaning 'a blow, impress, or mark.' The word 'type' evolved in English to refer to a character used in printing, which was crucial in the development of the printing press. With the advent of typewriters in the 19th century, the usage of the word expanded to include the action of inputting text. Typed is the past tense and past participle form of 'type,' solidifying its place in modern vocabulary as digital communication became ubiquitous.
