A person who creates anagrams or is skilled in anagrammatic wordplay; someone who studies or practices anagrams.
Formed from 'anagram' plus the suffix '-ist,' which creates nouns for people who practice or specialize in something (like 'pianist' or 'biologist'). The '-ist' suffix comes from Greek and Latin origins.
Expert anagrammatists could take a phrase like 'astronomer' and instantly transform it into 'moon starer'—these wordsmiths were the programmers and cryptographers of their day, playing with language the way computer scientists now play with code.
