Answer:

Although, we do know that it was philosopher William Whewell who first coined the term 'scientist. ' Prior to that, scientists were called 'natural philosophers'.” Whewell coined the term in 1833, said my friend Debbie Lee. She's a researcher and professor of English at WSU who wrote a book on the history of science.

William Whewell named science.

  • William Whewell was born on 24 May 1794 and died on 6 March 1866. He was an English polymath, scientist, Anglican priest, philosopher, theologian, and historian of science. He was a professor at Trinity College, Cambridge. In his period as a student there, he accomplished significance in both poetry and mathematics.
  • In English, science arrived from Old French, defining knowledge, learning, application, and a canon of human knowledge. It initially came from the Latin word Scientia which implied knowledge, a knowing, ability, or experience.
  • In 1834, Cambridge University historian and philosopher of science William Whewell conceived the word "scientist" to restore such phrases as "cultivators of science."
