Word History
Etymology
borrowed from French analyste "mathematician skilled in analysis," probably by haplology from *analysiste, from analyse or analysieanalysis + -iste-ist entry 1
Note:
French analyste would appear to be a derivative of analyser, a counterpart to analyze in English, but the French verb is apparently attested several decades later than the agent noun.
