'intuitionist' originates from the word 'intuition,' which comes from Latin 'intuitio,' meaning 'a looking at, consideration.'

'intuition' evolved from the Latin word 'intuitio' and eventually became the modern English word 'intuitionist' by adding the suffix '-ist' to denote a person who practices or is concerned with something.

Initially, it meant 'a person who relies on intuition,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
