A person who practices or advocates contemplation; someone devoted to deep thought and meditation.
From contemplate plus -ist (suffix indicating a practitioner or advocate). The -ist suffix creates nouns for people who practice or believe in something.
This word is extremely rare and technical, mostly appearing in religious or philosophical scholarship—a 'contemplatist' is more specifically devoted to contemplation than a general 'contemplative' person.
