typewrite

Meanings

1. 1
   verb

   dated: to write or produce text with a typewriter

   She learned to typewrite business letters without looking at the keys.

A back-formation from typewriter, reanalyzed as though the device name were type + writer from a verb typewrite. The shorter verb type became standard for both typewriters and computer keyboards, leaving typewrite chiefly historical or deliberately specific.
