Etymology
Cosmographer comes from the Greek parts cosmo- meaning 'universe' and -graph meaning 'to write' or 'draw', the same -graph you see in photograph, with -er for 'person'. So a cosmographer is someone who 'writes' or makes maps of the universe, which is why today it means an expert who maps or studies the earth and the stars.
