A member of a choir, or historically, a choral singer in a church or cathedral.
From Greek 'choros' (dance, choir) plus the agent suffix '-ist.' This English term dates to the 1500s and was commonly used for cathedral singers.
In medieval cathedrals, chorists were often young boys who lived at the cathedral full-time, receiving education and training in exchange for singing services—basically the original choir school!
