Scribbling is a form of writing that involves quickly jotting down ideas or thoughts without worrying about the accuracy or neatness of the handwriting. It is often used as a way to brainstorm and capture ideas quickly. The term 'scribbling' comes from the Latin word 'scribere, ' which means 'to write.' It is also sometimes referred to as 'doodling, ' which is a more informal version of scribbling.
