A follower or student of Saint Albert the Great's theological and philosophical teachings.
From Albert + the suffix '-ist' (one who practices or follows). Similar to how 'Thomist' refers to followers of Thomas Aquinas.
The rivalry between Albertists and Thomists in medieval universities was like the academic competitions of today—different philosophical schools competed to explain reality, and both were trying to reconcile Aristotle with Christianity!
