pollster

/ˈpoʊɫstɝ/ noun B2

a person who conducts public opinion polls

Word Origin Poll originally meant 'head' in Old English — because counting heads was how you took a poll. The suffix -ster (from Old English -estre) was originally a feminine agent suffix, like spinster (a woman who spins). Over time, -ster became gender-neutral for someone who does something, so a pollster is someone who counts heads. Related words: trickster, gangster, youngster.
