A person who is skilled at making things by hand; an artisan or someone who practices a specific craft.
From 'craft' plus 'person' (from Latin 'persōna'). This gender-neutral term replaced 'craftsman' starting in the late 20th century as English modernized occupational language.
Craftsperson is linguistically interesting because it's not just 'craftsman' with 'person' swapped in—speakers unconsciously maintain it because it sounds more formal and intentional than 'craftman' would, giving it staying power.
