intervisto

Intervisto is a term found in several linguistic and media contexts referring to a person who conducts interviews, or to the practice of interviewing itself. In some settings, it is used as a generic descriptor for an interviewer, while in others it appears as a proper noun, used as the title of a program, publication, or online project focused on conversations.

Usage varies by language. In many widely spoken languages, the closest equivalents are interviewer (English), entrevistador (Spanish), intervistatore (Italian), entrevistante or entrevistador (Portuguese), and intervieweur or intervieweuse (French). The form intervisto, when encountered, is typically seen in constructed languages, regional dialects, or as a stylized brand name rather than as standard vocabulary.

Etymology traces intervisto to the concept of an interview, drawing on the same root associated with meeting or viewing between parties. The -isto suffix is a common agent-noun ending in several language families, which helps explain how terms for professions connected to interviewing arise.

Notable uses: Intervisto has been adopted as a brand or title for various media projects that center on conversations, such as podcasts or online interview series. It is not, by itself, a universally recognized profession name in major dictionaries.
