Eclecticist

/ɪˈklɛktɪsɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who practices or advocates eclecticism; someone who selects and combines ideas or styles from various sources.

Etymology

From 'eclecticism' with the agent suffix '-ist' (indicating a person who practices or believes in something). This follows the pattern of creating agent nouns from doctrines or movements.

Kelly Says

An eclecticist refuses to be put in a box—whether it's a philosopher, artist, or musician, they're someone who says 'I'll take the best from everywhere' and creates something uniquely their own.
