Brahminists

/ˈbrɑːmɪnɪsts/ noun

Definition

Plural of brahminist; multiple people who practice, believe in, or advocate for Brahminism and its traditions.

Etymology

The plural form of 'brahminist,' created by adding the standard English plural '-s.' Both the singular term and its plural reflect how English speakers adopted and adapted Indian philosophical terminology.

Kelly Says

When English scholars encountered Indian philosophy, they didn't just borrow the Sanskrit words—they systematically created English '-ist' versions so they could talk about people and '-ism' versions so they could discuss entire philosophies.
