Etymology
Columnist comes from column and -ist; column once meant a 'pillar' and later a regular printed 'column' in a paper, and -ist means 'person who does something'. So a columnist is like a regular writer who appears in the same spot to give opinion, which is why it means a journalist who writes regular opinion pieces.
