motorist (n.)

"汽车司机"，1896年，来自 motor- + -ist。早期用作电车司机的名称（1889年）。其他早期的替代品包括 motorneer。

"Motorer" we have given our reasons for rejecting, and there only remains "motorist" or a compound like "motor-man" or "motor-driver." Mr. C.P.G. Scott, the etymologist of the Century Dictionary, strongly favors "motor-man" or "motor-driver," though he would not object to "motorist" and prefers it above any other single word.

"Motorer"我们已经给出了拒绝的理由，只剩下"motorist"或类似"motor-man"或"motor-driver"的复合词。世纪词典的词源学家 C.P.G. Scott 先生强烈支持"motor-man"或"motor-driver"，尽管他不反对"motorist"，并将其视为任何其他单词中最好的选择。
