Rhymes: -æstə(ɹ) Etymology: From Latin historicus (“historical”) + -aster (suffix denoting incomplete or partial resemblance, and hence sometimes having a derogatory connotation). Historicus is derived from historia (“history”) + -icus (suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’ forming adjectives), and is modelled after Ancient Greek ῐ̔στορῐκός (hĭstorĭkós, “historical”), from Ancient Greek ῐ̔στορῐ́ᾱ (hĭstorĭ́ā, “systematic observation, inquiry; knowledge or written account of such an inquiry”) + -ῐκός (-ĭkós, suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’ forming adjectives). Ῐ̔στορῐ́ᾱ (Hĭstorĭ́ā) is from ῐ̔στορέω (hĭstoréō, “to ask, inquire; to examine, observe; to record”) (from ῐ̔́στωρ (hĭ́stōr, “one who knows law and right, judge; wise man; witness”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to see”)) + -ῐ́ᾱ (-ĭ́ā, suffix forming feminine abstract nouns).
