Morphology

transcript = script (transparent) = trans + script

The meaning is directly derived from the prefix 'trans-' (across/copying) plus 'script' (writing), yielding a written copy or record.

Etymology

The word transcript comes from Latin parts trans- 'across' and scribere 'to write', and it shares the same root as script, which is about writing. So a transcript is a written 'copy' that moves spoken words 'across' into writing.
