Definition
A book or notebook used for practice writing, often with printed lines or model letters to imitate; also something that serves as a standard example.
Etymology
From 'copy' (something to imitate) and 'book,' originating in the 18th century when students learned handwriting by copying printed examples.
Kelly Says
Victorian schoolchildren filled copybooks by hand-copying perfect penmanship models—this is where the phrase 'blot your copybook' comes from, meaning to damage your reputation by doing something wrong.
