Definition
A person who studies, collects, or specializes in herbs; a herbalist.
Etymology
From 'herb' plus the agent suffix '-ist' (one who practices or specializes in). Similar formation to 'botanist,' but more specific to herbs than plants generally.
Kelly Says
Medieval herbists were the pharmacists and wellness gurus of their time—they held secret knowledge about which plants cured what, making them powerful and sometimes suspected of witchcraft.
