cartographer|kɑːˈtɒgrəfə(r)|
Also charto-.
[f. F. carte card, chart, or L. charta, carta (a. Gr. χάρτη, χάρτης), leaf of paper + Gr. -γράϕ-ος writer + -er1; cf. geographer. The ch- spelling is in accordance with the ultimate etymology (the Gr. would be *χαρτογράϕος); but the other is commoner, and perh. preferred, as not suggesting the pronunciation of ch- in chart.]
One who makes or compiles charts or maps.
