Word Origin & Etymology
First recorded in the late 18th century to denote a writer or speaker skilled in literary style, the word combines 'style' (ultimately from Latin 'stilus', meaning a pointed writing instrument) with the agent suffix '-ist'. The commercial sense referring to a fashion or hair designer emerged in the early 20th century.
