Arcanologist

Share definition Flag
A scholar or scientist who specializes in the study of magical theory, arcane energy, and supernatural phenomena. Unlike a wizard who performs magic or an arcanist who channels it, an arcanologist focuses on the physics of magic by analyzing ancient artifacts, ley lines, and the historical development of spells through a scientific lens.

(See: Arcanology)

Etymology:

Root: Latin arcānus (hidden, secret, or private). This stems from arca, meaning a chest or box. In a literal sense, it refers to knowledge "hidden in a box" away from the uninitiated.

Connecting Vowel: The Greek -o- is a standard linguistic bridge used to connect a Latin or Greek root to a suffix beginning with a consonant.

Study: Greek logos (word, reason, or discourse). When used as the suffix -logy, it indicates a systematic branch of study or a specific science.

Practitioner: The suffix -ist (from Greek -istes via Latin -ista) denotes a person who practices, holds, or is an expert in a specific field.

Literal Translation: One who practices the systematic study of hidden secrets.
"We found a glowing crystal in the ruins, but we had to call in an arcanologist to make sure it wouldn't explode if we touched it."

"Arguably, Frieren is one of the ultimate arcanologists aside from Serie."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
