Archit

/ˈɑːrkɪt/ noun

Definition

An obsolete or archaic term for an architect or one who designs buildings.

Etymology

From Latin architectus via Old French archite. An early English form of architect before the modern spelling stabilized in the 15th-16th centuries.

Kelly Says

Archit is a fossil word—it's what English speakers called architects before the full form 'architect' took over—showing how languages constantly trim and reshape words, and some earlier versions just disappear from use.
