Dialoguer

/ˌdaɪəˈlɒɡər/ noun

Definition

A person who engages in dialogue or conversation, especially one skilled at discussion.

Etymology

From French 'dialoguer' (to dialogue) + agent suffix '-er'. Derived from Greek 'dialogos' (conversation), from 'dia-' (through) + 'logos' (word/speech). The suffix '-er' creates an agent noun indicating one who performs the action.

Kelly Says

The word 'dialoguer' is practically extinct in English, replaced by 'conversationalist'—a perfect example of how language naturally gravitates toward shorter or more familiar words even when older ones work perfectly fine.
