Coined by English polymath William Whewell in March 1834 in an anonymous review of Mary Somerville's book On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences in the Quarterly Review as a suggested replacement for, [1] and later seriously introduced by him in 1840 [2] as a more precise substitute for, the terms  natural philosopher and man of science. Modeled after  artist, from the Latin stem  scientia(“knowledge”) with the suffix  -ist.
