覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
cycle「自転車に乗ること・車輪」に、人を表す -ist を付けた語で、「自転車に乗る人」です。a cyclist wearing a helmet、a lane for cyclists の場面で覚えましょう。bicyclist も同義ですが、cyclist のほうが一般的で簡潔です。単に一度乗った人より、移動・運動・競技として自転車を利用する人を指すことが多い語です。
Divide “cyclist” into cycle and -ist. Cycle is connected with wheels and riding a bicycle, and -ist means a person involved in an activity. Picture a person on a bicycle stopping at a red light, wearing a helmet, or using a designated cycle lane. Common phrases include “a professional cyclist,” “a passing cyclist,” and “a lane for cyclists.” “Bicyclist” has essentially the same meaning, but “cyclist” is usually shorter and more common. The word can describe commuters and casual riders as well as athletes in bicycle races.
例文
The cyclist stopped at the red light.
そのサイクリストは赤信号で止まりました。
A cyclist should wear a helmet.
サイクリストはヘルメットを着用するべきです。
The road has a wide lane for each cyclist.
その道路にはサイクリスト用の広い車線があります。

cyclist の語源・成り立ち Etymology
cycle「車輪・循環」に、人を表す接尾辞 -ist が付いた語。cycle はフランス語経由でラテン語 cyclus、さらにギリシャ語 kyklos「輪」にさかのぼり、車輪を使う人だから cyclist という。関連語は bicycle, cyclone。
“Cyclist” was formed from “cycle” with the agent suffix -ist, identifying a person who rides a cycle, especially a bicycle. “Cycle” came through French and Latin cyclus from Greek kyklos, meaning “circle” or “wheel.” The circular movement of a wheel explains its connection with bicycles. The same Greek source appears in many words involving circular motion or repeated sequences, while -ist regularly forms names for people associated with an activity.
