Etimologija

Od Srednji Engleski scribe, from Stari Francuski scribe (“scribe”), od Late Latin usage of scriba (“secretary”) (used in the Vulgate Bible translation to render Antički Grčki γραμματεύς (grammateús, “scribe, secretary”), which had been used in its turn to render the Hebrejski סופר (“writer, scholar”)) from scribere (“to write, draw, draw up, draft (a paper), enlist, enroll, levy; orig. to scratch”), probably akin to scrobs (“a ditch, trench, grave”). Dubleti of shrive.

The verb sense used in carpentry comes from the way a workman uses a compass to mark a line before cutting.
