bacteriologist

/bækˌtɪəɹiˈɒlədʒɪst/ noun

A microbiologist whose speciality is bacteriology.

Word Origin A 'bacteriologist' is a scientist who studies bacteria. It's built from 'bacterio-' (from Greek 'baktēr', a little rod) and '-logist' (from 'logos', word or study). So a bacteriologist is literally a 'rod-studier.' The same 'logos' root gives us 'logic,' 'dialogue,' 'monologue,' and 'eulogy.' The PIE root *leg- meant 'to collect, speak.' The '-ist' suffix indicates a person who practices.
