clarinetist

/ˌkɫɛɹəˈnɛtɪst/ noun

Someone who plays the clarinet.

Word Origin From Latin 'clarus' meaning 'clear, bright, loud' — the clarinet is a 'little clear one', a diminutive of 'clarion' (a clear-sounding trumpet). The suffix -ist (from Greek -istes) means 'one who does', so a clarinetist is one who plays the clarinet. The same root gives us clear, clarify, declare (to make clear), and clarity. So a clarinetist makes clear, bright sounds. The PIE *kele- root also gives 'call' and 'clamor', so it's all about loud, clear noise.
