单词 cartographer
释义

cartographern.

Brit. /kɑːˈtɒɡrəfə/, U.S. /kɑrˈtɑɡrəfər/
Forms: Also chartographer.
Etymology: < French carte card, chart, or Latin charta, carta ( < Greek χάρτη, χάρτης), leaf of paper + Greek -γράϕος writer + -er suffix1; compare geographer. The ch- spelling is in accordance with the ultimate etymology (the Greek would be *χαρτογράϕος); but the other is commoner, and perhaps preferred, as not suggesting the pronunciation of ch- in chart.
One who makes or compiles charts or maps.
