- 1歷史學家、史學家
A historian is a person who studies the past and tries to say what happened — and, though actually, to argue about what it meant, because historians do not only list dates. Some write books; some teach; some work in museums or with old papers. We also stretch it in a friendly way: if you remember every tiny fact about a club or a family, people may call you the historian of that group. It is a respectful word. It does not mean an old person, and it does not mean someone who lived long ago. That mix-up is easy because historic means important in history, while a historian is the person doing the work.
From the word’s history

源自古法文 historien，來自拉丁文 historia「故事、歷史」。
