eli5 what’s the difference between an architect and engineer?

Question

Seem to me that an architect is just an engineer with an art degree 🤔 surely there’s more.

Update:Thank you for all wonderful answers.

Architects are primarily concerned with the design. Engineers calculate the force/stress the design will be under, evaluate the support structure, select materials, etc before the architect’s design can be built.
