Sinusist

Sinusist is a neologism or rarely used term that denotes a person who studies or specializes in sinus-related topics. The word is not established in standard dictionaries or encyclopedias, and its meaning varies by context. In medical contexts, a sinusist would typically be understood as someone focusing on the paranasal sinuses and related disorders, functioning similarly to a rhinologist or otolaryngologist. Such a professional would diagnose and treat chronic sinusitis, perform imaging and surgical procedures such as endoscopic sinus surgery, and conduct research on sinus anatomy, immunology, and infections.

In mathematics or signal processing, the term could be used informally to describe someone who works extensively with sine functions and sinusoidal phenomena, including trigonometry, Fourier analysis, or waveform synthesis. This usage is informal and not standard.

In fiction and speculative contexts, sinusist may denote a scholar who studies sine-based cosmologies, rhythmic cycles, or metaphorical “sinus” structures within a world-building framework.

Etymology: the coinage combines Latin sinus with the English suffix -ist to denote a practitioner or expert. See also sinusitis, rhinology, otolaryngology, trigonometry, sine wave, Fourier analysis.
