script
Flowing joined letters
Script is writing, especially by hand—the cursive letters themselves or a system of written characters: Arabic script, Cyrillic script.
A script is also the written text of a play, film, or broadcast: We're still waiting on the final script.
To script something is to write it out or plan it in advance: a scripted response, The whole evening felt scripted.
In computing, a script is a program that automates tasks.
