A person who is skilled at talking with others and enjoys having interesting discussions and exchanging ideas.
From 'conversation' (from Latin 'conversari' meaning 'to live with, associate with') plus the suffix '-alist' (one who practices or specializes in). This word emerged in the 1700s to describe people known for good talk.
A good conversationalist is rarer than you'd think—studies show most people only listen to respond rather than to understand, so someone who actually asks questions and remembers details is genuinely remarkable.
