deipnosophist. Anyone seeking a big word meaning “a mas- ter of the art of dining” need look no further. The word derives from an early work entitled Deipnosophistai, which might be best translated as Gastronomes at Dinner, written by the Greek writer Athenaios of Naucratis in about a.d. 200. Deipnosophist, first recorded in 1656, is formed from the Greek deipnon, “din- ner,” plus sophistes, “learned person.” The word is first recorded in the late 15th century. |
