Annist

/ˈæn.ɪst/ noun

Definition

Etymology

From Latin 'annus' (year) plus -ist (suffix for practitioners). Extremely rare, possibly used in historical scholarship to describe those who work with chronological records.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it barely exists in English—it would describe someone obsessed with dates and annual records, making it perfect for the world's most pedantic historian!
