The Greek root graph- is usually taken to mean "write" though in fact it really means "make scratch marks." Likewise, the distantly related Latin root scrip- means "to engrave with a sharp instrument, or to draw lines" and hence "to write."

∙ 12y agopossibly something like scrivus, or scribus, since we have the English word scribe, a person who writes things for a superior, and the Italian infinitive of "to write" is "SCRIVere" while the spanish is "eSCRIBir"
something like that

photograph= (photos is Greek for "light") and (graph is Greek for write or draw) so the Greek word photograph means "drawn by light".
autograph- (autos means "self") and (graph means "to write or draw") so autograph means... "to write ones own name".
HTH.
