Etymology of PURSIVE

"Pursive" is a portmanteau word combining "print" and "cursive". It is a colloquial term that has emerged in recent years to describe a style of handwriting that falls somewhere between traditional print and cursive writing. While "print" refers to the style of writing where each letter is formed separately, and "cursive" refers to the style of writing where letters are joined, "pursive" represents a hybrid of both. Although it is not a formal term recognized in traditional language, it has gained popularity as a descriptor for this particular style of handwriting, especially among educators and parents.
