graffiti (uncountable)

1. (chiefly uncountable) Drawings or words drawn on a surface in a public place, usually made without authorization.
2. (archaeology, countable) Informal inscriptions, figure drawings, etc., as opposed to official inscriptions.

• There is no universal singular form to denote a single piece of graffiti. In archaeology, and occasionally elsewhere, graffito is used, reflecting the Italian singular. There is some non-standard usage of graffitus, as though it were Latin (compare focus, plural foci); graffitum, also Latin sounding (though this would technically form the plural *graffita; cf. millennium, plural millennia); and graffiti itself, unmodified.
• There is no clear dividing line between graffiti that constitutes art and that consitutes vandalism; in cases where this word may be misinterpreted, consider using a synonym.

• (archaeology): cave painting; epigraphy

• sgraffito
