Morphology

typescript = type + script (semi-transparent) = type + script

The name transparently combines 'type' (referring to static typing) and 'script' (from JavaScript), but the technical meaning (a statically typed superset of JavaScript) requires programming knowledge.

Etymology

TypeScript joins type ('a label for data') and script ('a short program'), so TypeScript is a version of JavaScript that adds 'types' to describe data and help find mistakes before the program runs.
