A believer in or worshiper of Baal; a follower of Baal-centered religious practices.
From 'Baal' + '-ite' (follower, believer). Similar to 'baalist' but with different suffix convention.
The '-ite' suffix was used for ancient religious groups—Canaanite, Hittite, Israelite—and it helps archaeologists and historians keep track of who believed what across ancient history.
