Arabistn.adj.

Brit. /ˈarəbɪst/, U.S. /ˈɛrəbəst/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Arab adj.1, -ist suffix.
Etymology: < Arab adj.1 + -ist suffix. In senses A. 1b, B. 1a after post-classical Latin Arabista student or practitioner of Arabism (1541 in a French source, or earlier). Compare Middle French, French arabiste (1547 or earlier in Middle French as noun in sense ‘student or practitioner of Arabism’, 1805 or earlier as adjective, designating such a physician). Compare Arabism n. 3. Compare also German Arabist (1753 or earlier in sense ‘student or practitioner of Arabism’, 1832 or earlier in the now usual sense ‘student or scholar of Arabic’).With senses A. 2 and B. 2 compare French arabiste (1898 or earlier as noun and adjective in these senses). The sense ‘student or scholar of Arabic’ is attested later for the French noun (1889 or earlier) than in English.
