Etymology

The term 'motorist' originated in the early 20th century as a combination of 'motor' (from 'motorcar') and 'ist' (indicating a person engaged in a particular activity or profession). With the rise of automobiles and the need for a term to describe those who operate motor vehicles, 'motorist' became widely used in the English language.
