Forms: see mercurial n. and adj. and -ist suffix; also 1500s Mercurilist (probably transmission error). Also with lower-case initial.

Compare Middle French mercurialiste (adjective) under the influence of the planet Mercury (1549), having a taste for commerce (1596).In quot. 1566 at sense 1, paraphrasing classical Latin Mercuriale..cognomen Mercurial nickname (Horace Satires 2. 3).

Now historical and rare.
