pencil
- c.1325, from O.Fr. pincel "artist's paintbrush," from L. penicillus "paintbrush, pencil," lit. "little tail," dim. of peniculus "brush," itself a dim. of penis "tail." Meaning "graphite writing implement" apparently evolved late 16c. Slang pencil-pusher "office worker" is from 1881; pencil neck "weak person" first recorded 1973.
