A Scientologist is a person who belongs to Scientology, a religion started in the 1950s by the American writer L. Ron Hubbard. The group’s official name is the Church of Scientology. Members believe it can help them sort out problems in life and get better at getting what they want. The word looks like “someone who studies knowledge,” and it does share a Latin piece with science — though actually people use it for a follower of that church, not for a scientist. In news and everyday talk the word often feels loaded, because the church is famous and much argued-over; some speakers say it quite . Use it for a person. The religion itself is Scientology.
山達基教徒(臺灣多稱這套信仰為「山達基」)
組成Latin scientia (knowledge) + -ologist (a person who studies something). The pieces sound like a scholar of knowledge; the living meaning is a member of the Church of Scientology.
