One who dites or writes; specifically, a person who composes or writes texts (archaic usage).
From Old French 'diter' (to compose or write), derived from Latin 'dictare' (to dictate), with '-er' added to form an agent noun.
Medieval scribes and clerics were sometimes called 'diters' when they composed important documents—it's an ancestor of the word 'dictate' and shows how writing was seen as a powerful creative act!
