Définition of write down
Origin :
- Old English writan «to score, outline, draw the figure of,» later «to set down in writing» (class I strong verb; past tense wrat, past participle writen), from Proto-Germanic *writanan «tear, scratch» (cf. Old Frisian writa «to write,» Old Saxon writan «to tear, scratch, write,» Old Norse rita «write, scratch, outline,» Old High German rizan «to write, scratch, tear,» German reißen «to tear, pull, tug, sketch, draw, design»), outside connections doubtful. Words for «write» in most I.E languages originally mean «carve, scratch, cut» (cf. Latin scribere, Greek grapho, Sanskrit rikh-); a few originally meant «paint» (cf. Gothic meljan, Old Church Slavonic pisati, and most of the modern Slavic cognates).
- For men use to write an evill turne in marble stone, but a good turne in the dust. [More, 1513]
- To write (something) off (1680s) originally was from accounting; figurative sense is recorded from 1889. Write-in «unlisted candidate» is recorded from 1932.

It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying me. Two of them, say, disappear; about two, nothing can be done, so it’s no use worrying, and two perhaps can be settled.
