Diagrammatician

/ˌdaɪəɡrəməˈtɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A person who specializes in creating or interpreting diagrams; an expert in diagrammatic representation.

Etymology

From diagrammatic plus the suffix -ian meaning 'a specialist in or practitioner of.' This is a rare, constructed term following productive English patterns.

Kelly Says

A 'diagrammatician' is a wonderfully imaginary word—while logicians, musicians, and statisticians are real professions, we rarely need to name diagram specialists! It shows how English can theoretically create job titles for almost any skill by using the -ian suffix.
