单词 pathologist
释义

pathologistn.

Brit. /pəˈθɒlədʒɪst/, U.S. /pəˈθɑlədʒəst/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: patho- comb. form, -logist comb. form.
Etymology: < patho- comb. form + -logist comb. form, after pathology n.The following is a description of the shift in meaning of the word in later use in Britain:1971 Lancet 29 May 1124/1 A pathologist (O.E.D., probably about 1905 [in fact 1904]) is ‘One versed in pathology: a student of or writer upon diseases’ and pathology ‘treats of the causes and nature of diseases’. Even at that time, when departments of pathology were beginning to be usual in medical schools and several specialised journals included the word in their titles, that was a little out of date... The word was already used chiefly for practitioners of laboratory medicine. By the thirties it had differentiated further: non-specialised laboratory doctors called themselves ‘clinical pathologists’, but used alone the word was increasingly limited to practitioners of the oldest branch of the trade, morbid-anatomy-histopathology. The N.H.S. has partly reversed this trend, advertising posts, for instance, as ‘pathologist with a special interest in bacteriology’. The Royal College of Pathologists goes even further, being anxious to include the non-medical biochemists, though there is..a backwoods faction which challenges the propriety of calling anyone non-medical a pathologist.
A person who studies or (formerly) who writes about disease; an expert in or student of pathology; (now) esp. a scientist who specializes in histopathology or laboratory medicine.plant, speech pathologist: see the first element.
