historiographer

/hɪˌstɔɹiˈɑɡɹəfəɹ/ noun

A scholar who studies historiography.

Word Origin A historiographer is literally a 'history-writer,' from Greek 'historia' (inquiry, knowledge) and 'graphein' (to write). The 'historio-' part comes from the same root as history, historian, and historic, all from the PIE *weid- 'to see,' so history is originally 'seeing, knowing.' The '-graph-' part is the same as in biography, geography, and photograph — all about writing or recording. The '-er' suffix makes it the person who does it.
