Who coined the phrase ‘Archi-writing’ ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2020 Paper 2 Philosophy Question Paper (27-Dec-2020)
The correct answer is

Jacques Derrida

Archi-writing (archi-écriture) is a term introduced by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in Of Grammatology (1967).

Derrida used it to name the general structure of difference, trace and spacing that, he argued, underlies both speech and writing, overturning the Western privileging of speech over writing (logocentrism and phonocentrism).

Roland Barthes is known for the death of the author and work on myth and semiology, Edward Said for Orientalism, and Michel Foucault for discourse, power and the archaeology of knowledge; none of them coined this term.

Hence, Jacques Derrida.
