A person who makes copies of documents or manuscripts, or one skilled in the act of copying; a copyist.
From 'copy' (Latin 'copiare') plus the agent suffix '-ist' (indicating a person who practices an art or skill), parallel to 'copyist' but using a different formation.
Medieval copists were the original word processors—some spent their entire lives copying texts by hand, and their small margin notes ('colophons') reveal their personalities and frustrations, making them surprisingly present across centuries.
