A person or device that documents or records information; one who creates or maintains documents.
From document plus the suffix -or (an alternate form of -er meaning 'one who'). A variant spelling of documenter, more common in technical and legal contexts.
Documentor shows up more in technical writing and legal fields, while documenter is the everyday word, but both are acceptable—English loves giving us multiple options for agent nouns, which is why we have both 'advisor' and 'adviser.'
Agent noun variant; -or suffix historically male-associated (doctor, professor, senator) while -ess or -ette variants were female-diminished.
Rare term; prefer 'documenter' or 'documentarian' for gender-neutral clarity.
["documenter","documentarian","archivist"]
If using -or terms, actively credit women practitioners to counteract historical erasure.
