n. a person who plays a musical instrument or writes music, especially as a profession.
The word "musician" combines "music," derived from the Greek "mousikē" (art of the Muses), with the suffix "-ian," indicating a person associated with a specific activity. Originally tied to the Muses in Greek mythology, "music" evolved to denote the art form itself, while "-ian" (from Latin "-ianus") marks practitioners. The fusion reflects a professional identity rooted in artistic tradition.
