/ˈstenəʊ//ˈstenəʊ/

The word "steno" is a shortened form of the word "stenography," which refers to the process of writing quickly and accurately, often by using a specialized system of abbreviations and symbols. The term "stenography" comes from the Greek words "stenos," meaning "narrow" or "Restricted," and "graphein," meaning "to write." In the late 19th century, shorthand writers began using the abbreviation "sten" to refer to their profession, and eventually the term "steno" emerged as a shortened form of the word. Today, "steno" is widely used in the field of stenography, particularly in the United States, to refer to both the profession and the method of writing.
