Etymology
The word trombonist starts with trombone, which comes from the Italian tromba meaning 'trumpet' plus the ending -one meaning 'big', so trombone once meant a 'big trumpet'. The ending -ist means 'a person who does' something, so a trombonist is a person who plays that 'big trumpet', the trombone.
