Diarian

/daɪˈɛəriən/ noun

Definition

A person who keeps or writes a diary; someone who records daily events and thoughts in writing.

Etymology

From Latin 'diarium' (daily record) + suffix '-an' (one who), similar to how 'librarian' comes from 'library'.

Kelly Says

This is an older English word that's almost completely replaced by 'diarist' today—it's the kind of term you might find in Victorian novels but almost never in modern writing.
