/ˌɛkspəˈdɪʃənɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who participates in an organized journey to explore or accomplish something difficult, like climbing a mountain or exploring a remote region.

Etymology

From 'expedition' (a journey with a specific purpose) + '-ist' (one who does). Expedition comes from Latin 'expeditio,' originally meaning a military campaign or enterprise.

Kelly Says

Expeditionists are modern-day adventurers with purpose—unlike tourists who just visit, they're scientists, climbers, and explorers actually trying to *discover* or *achieve* something on their journeys.
