- Playwright contains the word wright, which means builder. Just like a shipwright builds ships, a playwright builds plays.
- Remember that wright is an old English term for craftsman, while write relates to writing words only.
- Playwrite is not a correct spelling; its a common misspelling of playwright. Always use playwright' when referring to someone who writes plays.
