cacography \kuh-KOG-ruh-fee\ noun 1. poor penmanship; bad handwriting. 2. incorrect spelling. Quotes The writing was a model of cacography and I think that unless you learn patience and penmanship you had best forget your manners and use the machine, as I am doing now. -- Mavis Gallant, A Fairly Good Time, 1970 Origin Cacography joins caco-, from the Greek term kakόs meaning "bad," with -graphy, a combining form used to refer to a process or form of writing, drawing, recording or representing. It entered English in the mid-1500s.
