Main Entry: or·thog·ra·phy
Pronunciation: \ȯr-ˈthä-grə-fē\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English ortografie, from Anglo-French, from Latin orthographia, from Greek, from orth- + graphein to write — more at carve Date: 15th century 1 a : the art of writing words with the proper letters according to standard usage b : the representation of the sounds of a language by written or printed symbols 2 : a part of language study that deals with letters and spelling ------------ This word always makes me think of Kenneth Branaugh in Much Ado About Nothing when he's complaining about his friend Claudio falling in love: "He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose (like an honest man and a soldier), and now is he turn'd orthography -- his words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many strange dishes" (II.iii.18-21).
