mystesn.

Brit.

/ˈmɪstiːz/, U.S.

/ˈmɪstiz/

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin mystēs; Greek μύστης.

Etymology: < classical Latin mystēs or its etymon ancient Greek μύστης initiate < the base of μύειν to close (the lips or eyes: see mystery n.¹) + -της , suffix forming agent nouns; the primary sense is probably ‘person vowed to keep silence’. Compare ancient Greek μυεῖν to initiate into mysteries. Compare also slightly later myst n.The -σ- in μύστης is unetymological, although the form may be modelled on other agent nouns in -στης.

A person initiated into mysteries, esp. religious mysteries.
