## AI Etymology
industrialist comes from industrial + -ist, from industry, from Latin industria ('diligence, activity'). Morphologically, the ending is part of the etymology: the suffix is attached to the older base named in the history, producing a later English derivative. In present English, the noun sense is "a person who owns or runs an industrial enterprise", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as industry, industrial, industrialize, and industrialization. Its semantic neighborhood includes manufacturer, magnate, tycoon, and capitalist, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Latin industria.
