graffito

English

Etymology

Borrowed from Italian graffito.

Pronunciation

(General American) IPA^(key): /ɡɹəˈfitoʊ/, [ɡɹəˈfiɾoʊ̯]

Noun

graffito (plural graffiti)

(archaeology and related fields) An informal inscription, as by a worker or vandal.
(rare) A single instance of graffiti in the art/vandalism sense.

Usage notes

Outside of archaeology, graffiti or “a piece of graffiti” is used for the singular. As graffiti is borrowed from a plural form, prescriptivists consider singular use of graffiti incorrect: compare data/datum. The use of "graffiti" in contemporary art is a synonym to "Tags-Throw-ups-Pieces", TTP in short.[1]
