Anthropomorphite

/ˌænθroʊˈpɔːrfaɪt/ noun

Definition

A rare or archaic term for a person who practices or advocates anthropomorphism.

Etymology

From anthropomorph- + -ite (a person or adherent). The -ite suffix, as in 'Israelite' or 'favorite,' marks a follower or constituent. This is an older, less common variant than -ist.
