Answer:denoting the standard layout on English-language typewriters and keyboards, having q, w, e, r, t, and y as the first keys from the left on the top row of letters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most English language keyboards have a QWERTY layout. And QWERTY isn't an acronym or neologism. The name is simply the first six characters in the top far left row of letters. A Milwaukee newspaper editor and printer named Christopher Sholes invented the QWERTY layout.
