The word architect comes from the greek αρχιτέκτων pronounced as arhitekton (just like HI in the word hidden) - It consist of two words arhi - which means first,origin,primary etc and tekton-the one who creates (something like the first builder or God).
Also from answers.com :
Latin architectus, from Greek arkhitektōn : arkhi-, archi- + tektōn, builder.]
