-ist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-ist is an English suffix denoting a person - it describes that person's chief duty, or belief. For example, a socialist is a person who believes in the tenets of socialism, or a receptionist is a person who performs duties in the reception area of an office. Other examples are listed below.
It is closely related to the suffix -ism, though there is not a one-to-one relationship between them. For example, there is vandalism but not vandalist, and canoeist but not canoeism.
