'allographic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'allographos,' where 'allo-' meant 'other' and 'graphos' meant 'writing.'

'allographos' transformed into the English word 'allograph,' and eventually became the modern English word 'allographic.'

Initially, it meant 'other writing,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'different forms of a letter or character.'
