humoristn.

Brit.

/ˈhjuːmərɪst/, U.S.

/ˈhjumərəst/

Forms: 1500s– humorist, 1600s humerist, 1600s– humourist.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: humour n., -ist suffix.

Etymology: < humour n. + -ist suffix. In sense 1 probably after post-classical Latin humorista (a1541 in Paracelsus in this sense); compare German Humorist (1536 in Paracelsus in this sense). With senses 2 and 4a compare Middle French, French humoriste person who is subject to fancies, eccentric, crank (1578 in this sense), Italian umorista, †humorista person who is subject to fancies, crank (1589; now rare), member of the Accademia degli Humoristi, a society of comical writers founded in the early 17th cent. (1611 or earlier; now historical).

1. Medicine. A proponent of humoralism (humoralism n.); = humoralist n. Now historical and rare.The sense intended in quot. 1582 is uncertain. The medical context and the association with Paracelsus suggest this sense (see etymology), but the characterization of him as ‘no foe’ to ‘his humorists’ may suggest sense 3, given the possessive adjective and his rejection of humoralism (see note at Paracelsian n.¹).
