The word "scientist" did not exist before 1833, when William Whewell
invented it during a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement
of Science (in response to a comment by Coleridge ‹the poet!‹ commenting
derogating empirical science by comparison with ³Natural Philosophy² (which
Coleridge thought he was doing).
Whewell argued from an analogy to the word Artist. It took until the 1900s
for the word to become common.
