etymologist
An etymologist is a person who studies etymology.
Etymology is an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word.
Through old texts and comparisons with other languages, etymologists try to reconstruct the history of words — when they entered a language, from what source, and how their form and meaning changed.
An Etymologist is different then a philologist, one who studies linguistics and etymology.
Beware, those who are nescient often misuse and mispronounce'entymology' which is actually the study of insects!

entymologist's dilemma
You learn one new fact (e.g. the scientific name of an insect...) and an old fact pops out of your head.
The "entymologist's dilemma" occurred to me when I tried to recall the term for the roll-around cart that you use to work under a car...(a "creeper" by the way). (don't ask me what the term was that dropped out of my head...!)
