Bakerite

/ˈbeɪkəˌraɪt/ noun

Definition

A mineral or a person enthusiastic about baking, though this term is quite rare or informal.

Etymology

From 'baker' with the suffix '-ite' (from Greek '-itēs'), used in mineralogy to name minerals (like magnetite) or informally to denote enthusiasts of an activity.

Kelly Says

The '-ite' suffix works like a membership badge: we have 'socialites' for society lovers and 'selenites' for moon enthusiasts, so 'bakerite' would theoretically mean a baking fanatic!
