Amenite

/əˈmiːnaɪt/ noun

Definition

A follower or believer in amenism, or a person characterized by intellectual deficiency.

Etymology

From 'amenia' or 'amenism' plus '-ite' (a person who follows), following the Greek pattern of naming adherents to philosophical positions.

Kelly Says

The '-ite' suffix also names minerals and ancient people (Israelite, anthracite), so this word connects spiritual philosophy to the same naming system we use for rocks!
