Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; originally modelled on a Dutch lexical item. Etymons: proper name Epicurus , -ist suffix.

Etymology: < the name of Epicurus (see epicure n. and adj.) + -ist suffix, originally after Dutch Epicurist (1577 in the passage translated in quot. 1579; rare before the late 18th century). Compare earlier epicure n., epicurean n., Epicuree n.

A follower or student of the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341–270 b.c.); a person who holds views similar to those of Epicurus; = epicurean n. 1.Epicurus, whose philosophy was in various ways a refinement of the materialistic atomism of Democritus, distinctively taught (i) that pleasure is the only intrinsically valuable thing, though a tranquil life of moderation is the best way to secure it, and (ii) that the gods are not to be feared since they do not concern themselves at all with human affairs.
