The word graffiti is actually the plural form of the Italian word graffito, meaning to draw or make an inscription. This was most likely derived from Latin's graphiāre, meaning to write with a stylus, and Greek's grapheion, meaning to write. Graffiti has graced the walls of most civilized society for thousands of years. When Pompeii was dug out, graffit was found that included: "Lovers, like bees, lead a honey-sweet life" and "I don't want to sell my husband."
