覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
dietician は diet「食事、食習慣」と -ician「専門家」を組み合わせて、「食事・栄養を専門に扱う人」と覚えます。musician や physician の -ician と同じ発想です。学校、病院、福祉施設、給食、健康相談などで、栄養バランスや献立、食生活の改善について助言する職名として使われます。dietitian という綴りも非常によく使われます。
Start from `diet`, meaning food or eating habits. The ending `-ician` appears in words for specialists, so `dietician` means a food and nutrition specialist. This person may advise on balanced meals, menus, and healthier eating in schools, hospitals, care facilities, or counseling settings. `Dietitian` is also a very common spelling.
例文

(意味 2)解説 Definition
dietician は、病気や体調に合わせた食事療法を計画し、食べ方を指導する専門職を指します。病院やクリニックで、糖尿病、腎臓病、肥満などに応じた食事管理を助ける場面でよく使われます。
A dietician is a health professional who plans special meals for people with illnesses or specific health needs.

The word is usually used when someone gives practical advice about what to eat as part of treatment or recovery.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
diet は「食事」だけでなく、健康や治療のために管理された食事内容も表します。そこに musician や physician と同じ -ician が付くと「その分野の専門職」という形になるので、dietician は食事を医学的・実践的に扱う専門家と考えると覚えやすいです。単に栄養に詳しい人というより、患者の状態に合わせて食事療法を組み立てる人という文脈で出やすく、dietitian という綴りも同じ語として頻出します。
Think of diet not only as everyday food, but also as a controlled meal plan for health or treatment. The ending -ician, like in musician or physician, suggests a trained specialist. So a dietician is a professional who works with diet in a practical and medical way for each patient. Also remember that dietitian is a very common spelling of the same word.
例文
The doctor referred her to a dietician for help with her diabetes meal plan.
医師は、糖尿病の食事計画を立てるために彼女を食事療法士に紹介した。
A hospital dietician explained which foods were safe for the patient after surgery.
病院の食事療法士は、手術後の患者にどの食品が安全かを説明した。

dietician の語源・成り立ち Etymology
dietician は dietitian の異綴で、diet はギリシャ語 diaita「生活様式・養生」がラテン語を経て入った語です。関連語は diet, dietetics。もとは「食事」より広く「暮らし方」を指したため、栄養士が食生活全体を扱う語感につながります。
Dietician is a variant spelling of dietitian, built from diet. Diet comes through Latin from Greek diaita, which originally meant a way of living or mode of life, not only food. Related words include diet and dietetics. Because the older root was broad, the modern word keeps the idea of guiding a person's whole eating pattern and health habits.
