rédacteur anonyme; rédactrice anonyme : Ces termes, retenus pour la Classification nationale des professions (CNP) de 2016, sont des équivalents de «ghostwriter» moins satisfaisants que «prête-plume». En effet, l’adjectif «anonyme» devrait en principe signifier «dont on ignore le nom», «qu’on n’a pas pu identifier» ou encore «qui ne fait pas connaître son nom» (sources : Petit Robert 2017 et Usito). 3, record 1, French, - pr%C3%AAte%2Dplume
