Someone who makes people cry in rooms they paid to sit in.
means A writer who constructs plays — shaping dialogue, conflict, and structure for performance on a stage.
from From Greek 'drama' meaning 'action' or 'a thing done,' itself from 'dran,' 'to do.' The suffix '-ist' tacked on later marks the doer — one who makes the doing. So a dramatist is, by blunt etymology, a 'do-ist': someone who turns action into something shaped and watchable.
