describer

/dᵻskɹˈaɪbɚ/ noun

A person who describes.

Word Origin 'Describer' is one who writes down, from Latin 'describere' (to copy, transcribe, describe). The root 'scribere' originally meant 'to scratch, carve'—early writing was scratching into wax or stone. That root gives us a huge family: 'scribe', 'script', 'prescribe' (write before), 'subscribe' (write under), 'transcribe' (write across). The breakdown de+scrib+er shows the agent who writes down.
