backspace
Cursor retreats left
Backspace is the key on a keyboard that deletes the character to the left of the cursor, moving the insertion point backward.
The verb means to use this key: I backspaced over the typo.
On typewriters, backspace moved the carriage back without erasing, allowing overtyping for corrections or accents.
