~~~
logodaedalus (log-uh-DEE-duh-luhs) - n., a wordsmith, someone who is skilled at using or coining words.
Not a common word, though see also logodaedaly, the "arbitrary or capricious coinage of words," to which I say coining words is a perfectly cromulent thing to do. Coined in this case from Greek roots logos, word + either daidalos, skillful or Daedalus the Greek mythological figure whose name means skillful.
