Origen e historia
From Latin 'typus' meaning 'figure, image, form', from Greek 'typos' (a blow, a mark from a blow, a mould, a model), from 'typtein' (to strike). Originally the impression left by striking — hence 'typewriter' (striking letters). The sense of 'kind' or 'category' came from 'model' or 'pattern'.
