A person who writes epitomes or summaries; one who condenses longer works into shorter versions.
From epitome plus the suffix -ist (one who specializes in). This creates a noun for a specialist in creating summaries or abstracts.
Before Wikipedia, epitomists were the unsung heroes of learning—they turned massive encyclopedias into readable summaries so ordinary people could actually learn things!
