late Middle English: via Old French from Latin descriptio(n- ), from describere ‘write down’.
wiktionary
From Old French description, from Latin dēscrīptiō, noun of action of dēscrībō(“I describe”).
etymonline
description (n.)
late 14c., descripcioun, "act of delineating or depicting," from Old French description (12c.) and directly from Latin descriptionem (nominative descriptio) "representation, description, copy," noun of action from past-participle stem of describere "write down, transcribe, copy, sketch," from de "down" (see de-) + scribere "to write" (from PIE root *skribh- "to cut"). Via the notion of "qualities which represent a class or individual" comes the sense "type, sort, kind" (1781).
