A person who tells a story or describes events, often in a book, movie, or documentary.
From Latin 'narratus' (told), related to the verb 'narrare' (to tell). The suffix '-or' creates an agent noun meaning 'one who does the action.' The word entered English in the 1600s to describe someone who provides the voice or perspective telling a story.
