means A person who tells or writes stories, especially one skilled at holding an audience with narrative.
from A plain English compound, transparent as window glass: "story" plus "teller." "Story" came through Old French "estoire" from Latin "historia" (an account, a history) — the same root that gives us "history," so storytelling and recording the past were once nearly the same act. "Teller" comes from Old English "tellan," which originally meant to count or reckon (a sense surviving in a bank teller) before it slid toward counting out words rather than coins. So a storyteller is, quite literally, someone who counts out a history aloud.
