Etymology of PHOTOGRAPHIST

The word "photographist" is not commonly used in modern English. However, it does derive from the combination of two words: "photo" and "graphist".

The word "photo" is derived from the Greek word "phos" (meaning "light") and the Greek word "graphē" (meaning "drawing or writing"). "Graphē" is also the origin of the word "graph", which refers to a diagram or a visual representation.

The suffix "-ist" comes from the Latin suffix "-ista", which is derived from the Greek suffix "-istēs". "-Ist" is added to nouns to indicate a person who practices or is associated with a particular activity or field.

Combining "photo" and "-ist", we get "photographist", which could be interpreted as someone who practices or is associated with the activity of creating or working with photographs.
