Word origin
From excursión + -ista, where excursión traces to Latin excursio (ex- 'out' + currere 'to run') forming an agent noun for someone who goes on an outing.
Usage tips
- A cognate of English excursion, so excursionista lines up with 'hiker' or 'day-tripper' rather than the broader English sense of tourist.
