Definition serif
Etymology
From earlier ceriph, ceref, of obscure derivation. There are two (not directly interrelated) candidates for a possible Dutch origin: 1.) the noun schreef (�stroke�, now also �serif� as a semantic loan), related with schrapen (�to scrape�); and 2.) the verb schrafferen (�to provide with horizontal lines, to shade�), from Italian sgraffiare. For the latter compare German Schraffe (�serif�), although this again may be a semantic loan based on the English word rather than original to it.
