[F. artisan, fr. L. artitus
skilled in arts, fr. ars, artis, art: cf. It. artigiano. See
{Art}, n.]
1. One who professes and practices some liberal art; an
artist. [Obs.]
2. One trained to manual dexterity in some mechanic art or
trade; and handicraftsman; a mechanic.
This is willingly submitted to by the artisan, who
can . . . compensate his additional toil and
fatigue. --Hume.
Syn: Artificer; artist.
Usage: {Artisan}, {Artist}, {Artificer}. An artist is one who
is skilled in some one of the fine arts; an artisan is
one who exercises any mechanical employment. A
portrait painter is an artist; a sign painter is an
artisan, although he may have the taste and skill of
an artist. The occupation of the former requires a
fine taste and delicate manipulation; that of the
latter demands only an ordinary degree of contrivance
and imitative power. An artificer is one who requires
power of contrivance and adaptation in the exercise of
his profession. The word suggest neither the idea of
mechanical conformity to rule which attaches to the
term artisan, nor the ideas of refinement and of
peculiar skill which belong to the term artist.
