Word origin

The term 'numerologist' derives from 'numerology', which is a combination of the Latin word 'numerus', meaning 'number', and the Greek word 'logia', meaning 'study' or 'science'. The concept of numerology dates back thousands of years, with roots in ancient civilizations such as Babylon and Egypt. The modern interpretation of numerology was significantly popularized in the early 20th century by figures like Pythagoras, who believed that mathematics and numbers had intrinsic mystical qualities. Over time, numerology has been intertwined with various spiritual, esoteric, and metaphysical traditions. As interest in alternative spiritual practices grew, the role of the numerologist emerged, providing personalized insights based on numerical calculations. Today, numerology remains a popular form of divination and self-discovery across various cultures.
