A person who plays the organ, especially as a profession or in a church.
From 'organ' (the musical instrument) + -ist (one who practices or plays). The organ itself comes from Greek organon, meaning 'tool' or 'instrument.'
Church organists were once among the most technically skilled musicians of their time—operating an organ required mastery of two separate keyboards with your hands AND feet simultaneously, making them like the ultimate multitasking musicians long before video games tested hand-eye coordination.
