† philosophiantadj.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from French. Etymon: French philosophiant.

Etymology: Probably < Middle French philosophiant, present participle of philosophier to practise philosophy (c1320: see philosophy v.). Compare Middle French les philosophans (plural noun) Parisian philosophy students (1491; use as noun of present participle of philosopher : see philosophate v.), and perhaps also Old French phyllosofien (c1220; < phyllosofie , variant of philosophie philosophy n. + -ien -ian suffix) and Middle Dutch philosophien ( < philosophie philosophy n. + -ien -ian suffix), both in sense ‘a philosopher’.

Obsolete.

Able to philosophize.
