Clamourist

/ˈklæm.ər.ɪst/ noun

Definition

British spelling of clamorist; a person who clamours or engages in noisy protest (less common variant).

Etymology

British spelling variant of 'clamorist,' maintaining the '-our-' orthography pattern. Combines clamour + -ist agent suffix.

Kelly Says

The '-ist' ending gives words subtle political undertones—'clamourist' sounds more ideologically committed than 'clamourer,' which is why political activists might prefer the former label.
