    Italic letters lean to the right. Printers and screens use them to pick a word out — a title, a word from another language, or a word you want the reader to feel. In a sentence you will often hear the noun in the plural: write it in italics. The adjective is italic type, italic script. On a keyboard the I button turns italic on. The name comes from Italy: around 1500 an Italian printer, Aldo Manuzio, used this type, and English named the letters after the country. It is an everyday school and computer word. With a capital I, Italic can also mean “of ancient Italy” (Italic languages), but that is a different, more specialist use; the lean-to-the-right letters are the ones you meet first.

組成Italy + -ic, named after the country because an Italian printer first used this sloping type around 1500.
