-graphercomb. form

Primary stress is attracted to the syllable immediately preceding this combining form and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. aerographer n.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Partly a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin -graphus , -er suffix¹; Greek -γράϕος , -er suffix¹.

Etymology: Partly < classical Latin -graphus -graph comb. form + -er suffix¹, and partly < ancient Greek -γράϕος + -er suffix¹. On the likely analogy of astronomer n. (corresponding to post-classical Latin astronomus ) and the formation history (including the relationship with words in -graphy comb. form) see note at definition.

an ending of many English words of Greek derivation.First found in the earlier half of the 16th cent. The analogy of astronomer n. (see etymological discussion at that entry) naturally suggested the use of the suffix -er suffix¹ as a means of anglicizing Latin words in -ˈographus without altering their rhythm, as in cosmographer n. (recorded a1527). In the 16th cent. there also occur a few forms in -graphier derived from nouns in -graphy comb. form + -er suffix¹, as geographier geographer n. (1542), chronographier chronographer n. (1548), but these were soon superseded by the forms in -grapher. (In chirographer n. the ending has a different source.) From the latter part of the 16th cent. the formation with -grapher has been the normal mode both of anglicizing a real or assumed Greek word in -γράϕος (see -graph comb. form) denoting a personal agent, and of providing a personal designation corresponding to nouns in -graphy comb. form denoting an art or science. It would often be impossible to determine in which of these two ways an individual word actually originated; but the question is not significant, because Greek words in -γράϕος were themselves influenced in sense by their derivatives in -γραϕία, so that, e.g. γεωγράϕος meant not so much ‘a person who describes the earth’ as ‘an expert in γεωγραϕία’.
