the.com/humorist

means A person who makes a craft of being funny, especially through writing or speaking that finds the absurd in ordinary life.

from Traces back to 'humor,' which started in ancient medicine as the four bodily fluids (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, black bile) believed to govern mood and temperament. By the 1500s-1600s, 'humor' had drifted from fluids to moods to whims to comic incongruity — a sour 'humor' became a funny one. 'Humorist' first described someone dominated by an odd temperament or obsessive quirk, a stock character type in old comedy, before settling into its modern sense: someone who professionally mines human quirks for laughs.
