A meteorologist or weather scientist who studies cyclones and rotational storm systems.
From cyclone + -ist (a person who practices or specializes in something). This occupational term emerged in late 19th-century meteorology as the field professionalized and scientists needed specialized terminology.
The first real cyclonists in the 1800s had almost no technology—they predicted storms using barometers and careful observation, yet they were remarkably accurate.
