Best Answer

Someone who writes successful history, that is a coherent account of human events for a given period of time.

The word History comes from the Greek word for Researches, which is the name given to his book by our first coherent historian who opened his book with the words:

'Herodotus of Halicarnassus his researches are here set down so that the great deeds of men may not be forgotten.'

People have taken it on from there, some successfully, some not so successfully, and some pervert it to Propaganda for their views.
