'adscript' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'adscribere,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'scribere' meant 'to write.'

'adscribere' transformed into the Medieval Latin word 'adscriptus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'adscripted.'

Initially, it meant 'to write in addition,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'bound or attached to a place.'
