classicalist

/ˈkɫæsɪkəɫɪst/ noun

Synonym of classicist.

Word Origin From Latin classis 'class, division, rank' — originally, classis meant a fleet of ships, then a group of citizens called up for military service, and finally any division or rank. A classicalist is someone devoted to the 'first class' — the classics. The root also gives us classic, classify, and classless. The PIE root *kele- 'to shout, call' is behind classis (the 'called-up' group) and also calendar (the 'called' days).
