- 1縱火犯
An arsonist is a person who commits : someone who sets fire to a building or other property on purpose. News reports use it as a label for the suspect or the person who has already been caught. It is a hard, official-sounding word, closer to the courtroom than to daily chat; in ordinary talk someone might just say “the person who started the fire”. It always points to a crime, not to a , and not to a person who knocked a candle over by accident. One person can be “an arsonist”; a group of attacks can be “the work of an arsonist”. The ending is the same -ist you meet in artist or scientist: a person known for doing that thing — though here the thing is a crime, so the word is never a compliment.
組成arson + -ist (a person who does that thing).
