means Someone who plans and shapes how a thing looks, works, or fits together before it's actually made.

from From French 'designer,' rooted in Latin 'designare' — 'de-' (out) plus 'signare' (to mark), literally 'to mark out.' The original sense was to sketch a plan or indicate a purpose, like scratching an outline before building; the word only drifted toward its modern mix of 'creative visionary' and 'the one who picks the fabric swatches' in the last couple of centuries as design became its own profession.
