The word that you seek is 'TYPEWRITER'.  And as long as this is
the newsgroup for trivia, I may as well pass this along:  David
Kahn, in his book 'The Codebreakers', reports one theory that
the 'QWERTYUIOP' letters were chosen for the top row of the
typewriter keyboard for the express reason that typewriter
salesman of the time could spell out 'TYPEWRITER' without
having to hunt all over the keyboard for the letters.
