Definition
题词 (tí cí) is a separable verb (离合词) meaning to write a brief dedicatory or commemorative text, such as an inscription in a book or a foreword. As a noun, it refers to the inscription itself. You can split it to insert aspect or measure words: 题了词 'wrote an inscription', 题过词 'have written an inscription'. The person you write for comes before the compound with 给 or 为, not directly after 题词.
