idealistn.adj.

Brit.

/ʌɪˈdiːəlɪst/, U.S.

/aɪˈdi(ə)ləst/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ideal adj., -ist suffix; ideal n., -ist suffix.

Etymology: Partly < ideal adj. + -ist suffix, and partly < ideal n. + -ist suffix. In later use after idealism n. Compare French idéaliste (a1716 in sense A. 1b, 1839 in sense A. 3, 1846 in sense A. 2), German Idealist (1732 in sense A. 1b, 1819 or earlier in sense A. 2, 1846 or earlier in sense A. 3), post-classical Latin idealista (1734 in a German source in sense A. 1b), Italian idealista (a1754 in sense A. 1b, 1901 in sense A. 3); sense A. 1a is apparently unparalleled in any of these languages. With the use as adjective compare French idéaliste , adjective (1810), German idealistisch (see idealistic adj.), and also earlier idealistic adj.

A. n.

1. Philosophy.

†a. A believer in ideas in the Platonic or theological sense: see idea n. 1a. Obsolete.
