The word "pencil" originates from the Latin word "penicillus," meaning "little tail," which referred to a small brush used for writing. This term was derived from "penis," meaning "tail," and was used in the context of a small, pointed instrument for drawing or writing. Over time, the term evolved to refer specifically to the wooden writing instrument we use today, which contains graphite. The transition reflects the evolution of writing tools from brushes to the modern pencil.
