ETYMOLOGY
from Latin scrībĕre (to write) + -acious
EXAMPLE
“…We have some Letters of Popes, (though not many; for Popes were then not very scribacious, or not so pragmatical; whence to supply that defect, lest Popes should seem not able to write, or to have slept almost 400 years, they have forged divers for them, and those so wise ones, that we who love the memory of those good Popes, disdain to acknowledge them Authours of such idle stuff; we have yet some Letters)…”
From: A Treatise of the Pope’s Supremacy:
to which is added a Discourse Concerning the Unity of the Church
– Isaac Barrow, a1677
