Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin realis, meaning 'actual' or 'pertaining to things', combined with the agent suffix -ist. Entering English in the 19th century via French and German philosophical contexts, the term originally denoted one who believes that universals exist independently of the mind, later expanding into political science and artistic movements to describe a person who accepts a situation as it is and deals with it accordingly.
