köken: Probably an inner-Russian formation based on дирижи́ровать (dirižírovatʹ) + -ёр (-jór). The usual corresponding French term is dirigeant, not the quite rare or marginal dirigeur. Some steps omitting, from Latin dīrigō (whence also дирижа́бль (dirižáblʹ)); also note p.p.p. dīrēctus (whence дире́ктор (diréktor) and many others).
