For example, you might probably know the tennist, Martina Navratilova (she's of czech origin). "tennist" is not an English word, at least according to dictionary.com and Firefox' built-in spelling check. I suppose if you wanted to extend "tennis" into a word meaning "tennis player," in the same way that you can extend "guitar" into "guitarist" and "bass" into "bassist," you'd get "tennisist" which is quite the tongue-twist. -a |
