Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car not called a racist?

Answer #1

Cuz that word is already taken xD

Answer #2

I guess the words were created by the same person who decided that something transported on a boat is called cargo, while something transported by car is called a shipment.

However, if you pick apart the word pianist and see how it’s put together, then it would only stand to reason that the correct term for a race car driver would be race carist.

Answer #3

thanks :)

Answer #4
