It dates back from the time when people were handling conflicts by fencing in the streets.
From the French word “escrime” (fencing), inspired by the fact that back then people were also often leaving graffities on the stone walls, using the tip of their foil.
(Jestar’s reply above is obviously made up. Just sayin’.)

As everyone knows, @KB is a genius who loves both writing software and word puzzles. As such he chose the name “Scrivener” because it (a) means “writer” but also because (b) “Literature and Latte Scrivener” is an anagram of “unilateral inverted scatterer” which describes what Scrivener was invented to do… i.e., to be the only software out there that makes it easy to put order to your scattered literary musings.
Or maybe I dreamt that.
