词汇	scientist
词源	scientist. The word science, from the Latin scientia, “knowl- edge,” is recorded in English as early as 1340, but the word sci- entist didn’t make its appearance until five centuries later, in 1840, when it was invented by William Whewell in his book The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences. Wrote the English scholar: “We need very much a name to describe a cultivator of science in general. I should incline to call him a Scientist.”
