What is the Greek word for craftsman?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "craftsman" in Greek, as the best word depends on the specific craft. However, some good options include:

* τέχνης (téchnēs): This refers to an art or craft in general, and can sometimes be used to describe a craftsman, especially when referring to someone skilled in a particular art. It's more about the skill than the person themselves.

* τέκτων (tékton): This specifically refers to a carpenter or builder. It's a more concrete term.

* δημιουργός (dēmiourgós): This means "creator" or "maker" and could be used for a craftsman, especially one who creates something artistic or innovative.

* χειροτέχνης (cheirotéchnēs): This literally means "hand-craftsman" and is a more general term encompassing various crafts. This is probably the closest single-word equivalent.

The best choice depends on the context. For a general craftsman, χειροτέχνης (cheirotéchnēs) is a safe bet.
