Astrologian

/ˌæstrəˈloʊdʒən/ noun

Definition

A person who practices or studies astrology; an astrologer, particularly in older or specialized usage.

Etymology

From 'astro-' (star) + 'logi-' + '-an' (suffix forming nouns for practitioners). This variant form appears alongside other versions like 'astrologer,' creating competing terminology for the same profession.

Kelly Says

English loves creating multiple words for the same thing with different suffixes—'astrologer,' 'astrologian,' 'astrolog'—it's like we couldn't decide which version sounded best, so we just kept all of them around!
