корист

From Proto-Slavic *koristь, originally meaning loot, award (from a conquest). Compare Old Church Slavonic користь (koristĭ, “loot, booty, award”). Likely a deverbal noun from коря́ (korjá, “to reproach, to objurgate”) +‎ -ист (-ist). Alternatively, may reflect ко- (ko-, “such that”) +‎ ри́стя (rístja, “to hunt, to chase”) (dialectal) + -ь (-ʹ) (i-stem).
