writing instrument
Makes marks permanent
A writing instrument is any tool used to produce written marks on a surface.
The category includes pens, pencils, markers, crayons, and chalk—anything held in the hand to inscribe or draw.
The term is slightly formal, appearing in contexts like school supply lists or office requisitions: Students must bring their own writing instruments to the exam.
