Apparently a calque on Greek po(i)ētēs 'maker; poet' from poieō 'make'.
Ancient Greek word ποιητής (poiētēs), pronounced roughly as
"poy-ay-TAHS".
I think in your transcription that would be -TAYS. Same vowel.
sounds like POTUS
Greek verb ποιέω (poieō), pronounced roughly as "poy-EH-oh".
Cognate with Poignant
(having a sharp emotional effect, a connection to the power of words)
