One who engages in herophily; an advocate or practitioner of the study and appreciation of heroes and heroic values.
Derived from 'herophile' plus the suffix '-ist' (one who practices or believes in), creating a term for someone actively devoted to studying or promoting heroism.
This is one of those rare words where the '-ist' suffix makes it sound more intentional and ideological than just '-phile'—a herophilist isn't just someone who likes heroes, but someone with a whole philosophy about what heroism means and why it matters.
