Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek: ὀρθογρᾰφῐ́ᾱ

In summary

Late 16th or early 17th century calque of Latin ortographia, from Ancient Greek ὀρθογρᾰφῐ́ᾱ (orthogrăphĭ́ā); compare Old High German rehtscrībāri (“person who writes correctly”), itself a calque of Latin orthographus. By surface analysis, recht (“proper, correct”) + Schreibung (“spelling”)
