historyador

Tagalog

Alternative forms

Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish historiador, but with the silent h pronounced as /h/, either due to English influence or due to the relation to Tagalog historya, which is from a desire to differentiate from similar words, as suggested by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF). Attested from the 1960s. By surface analysis, historya +‎ -dor. Doublet of istoryador.
