Etymology: "Typewrites" is the third-person singular present form of "typewrite", which is a back-formation from "typewriter". The noun came first: a typewriter was the machine, and people later worked backward from it to create a verb meaning to write with one. So the verb is the younger word, shaped by the machine rather than the other way round.
