redactor

editor; writer

noun rreh-dahk-TOHR Rare
Communication Media

Origin: From Latin redactor, from redigere (to bring back, reduce to writing).

Usage Note

Redactor in Spanish means a writer or editor who drafts text, not primarily a layout editor — redactor jefe is editor-in-chief. The feminine is redactora. Be careful: the English 'editor' who cuts a film is editor or montador in Spanish, not redactor. The verb is redactar (to write, draft).

Examples

"La redactora revisó el artículo antes de publicarlo."

Natural Translation

The editor reviewed the article before publishing it.
