Coelicolist

/ˌsiːlɪˈkɑːlɪst/ noun

Definition

One who worships or honors heavenly or celestial beings; a worshipper of the sky or heavens.

Etymology

From Latin coelum (heaven) + -cola (dweller) + -ist (one who practices). A rare scholarly term combining Latin roots with the suffix for practitioners of a belief or practice.

Kelly Says

This incredibly obscure word describes someone who worships the heavens—it's exactly the kind of hyper-specific term that Latin scholars invented to label every possible human practice and belief.
