A believer or practitioner of Bahaism; another term for a Baha'i follower.
Combines Bahai with the suffix -ist (one who practices or believes in something). This variant form appeared alongside Bahai in English usage during the early 20th century.
The term Bahaist is less commonly used than simply 'Baha'i,' similar to how we say 'Christian' rather than 'Christianist'—showing how English speakers gradually settle on the simplest form of a word.
