People who are skilled at or enjoy having engaging discussions and dialogue with others.
From 'conversational' (relating to conversation) plus '-ist' (one who practices or specializes in). Conversation itself comes from Latin 'conversari' meaning 'to live with' or 'associate with,' ultimately from 'com-' (with) and 'versari' (to be occupied).
The suffix '-ist' typically indicates someone skilled or passionate about something—think pianist, florist, or analyst—but conversationalists are fascinating because they're recognized not for creating something tangible, but for the art of human connection itself.
