GRAFFITI

“Graffiti: Sign of the Times” – Times Journal editorial caricature drawn by Norman Isaac.

          Ang salitang “graffiti” (plural, ang singular form nito ay “graffito”) ay halaw sa salitang Italyano na graffio, na ang ibig sabihin ay “guhit (na walang kahulugan o scribble),” na tawag sa mga wall inscription sa mga nalabi nang pagkawasak ng lungsod ng Pompeii. Ang salitang graffiti ay unang ginamit sa panitikan noong 1851, at tumutukoy ito sa mga guhit na ginawa sa pamamagitan ng pagkutkot o pagkayos sa mukha ng pader.
