Correct spelling

hobbyist

Correct spelling, definition: this word consists of two elements: the base and the suffix. The base word is hobby and the suffix is -ist. If we merge them, we receive a full noun, which means a person who pursues a particular hobby – hobbyist. We can’t change the spelling of any element, so hobbiest is a mistake.

Definition of hobbyist:
noun, a person who pursues an activity in their spare time
I love skiing and I always do it when it’s wintertime. I’m a hobbyist!
Mark can’t really dance, but he does it anyway – he’s a hobbyist.


Incorrect spelling

hobbiest

Incorrect spelling, definition: the correct form, hobbyist, is a derivative of the noun hobby, so its root must remain intact. The ending -ist added to a noun means a person who performs an action, while the ending -est is used for the adjective’s superlatives, not nouns. This is why hobbiest is the wrong form and hobbyist is the correct one.
