An academician, in this sense, is not simply someone who teaches at a university. It is a person chosen as a member of an official academy — a body that looks after literature, art, science, and the like. France has its Académie française; Taiwan has Academia Sinica, and the people given that honour are 院士. The word is at home in countries that still use academy this way. In everyday British or American English, people more often say a fellow of the academy, or they name the body. It is a title of honour, usually late in a life’s work, not a job a young student applies for.
院士
組成academic + -ian (a person who belongs to something). The academic part is the same Akademeia that gives us academy: Plato’s grove, then official academies, then a member of one.
