means A person who types text, especially one skilled at operating a typewriter or keyboard for a living.

from A straightforward 19th-century coinage: 'type' (from Greek 'typos,' meaning a mark or impression, via the printing press) plus the agent suffix '-ist.' The word arrived alongside the typewriter itself in the late 1800s, naming a brand-new office job — and soon a whole gendered workforce of 'typists' who kept business correspondence moving long before autocomplete existed to help them.
