sexologist

/sɛksˈɑlədʒˌɪst/ noun

Someone who studies, or is an expert in, sex and sexuality.

Word Origin A hybrid of Latin 'sexus' (sex) and Greek 'logos' (study) — a sexologist studies human sexuality. The Latin 'sexus' comes from PIE *sek- meaning 'to cut, divide' (the division of genders), while 'logos' gives us 'logic', 'biology', 'sociology'. So a sexologist is literally one who discourses on sex. The same 'sec' root appears in 'section' and 'dissect'.

noun Someone who studies, or is an expert in, sex and sexuality. countable
