TIL what apologist means . . . (Destiny)
I always thought that was weird too but it has a lot more to do with the ancient meaning of the word ἀπολογία than the modern word apology.
apologia combines apo (from) and logos (logic/reason). The formal use of the term refered to a defense in a court, or reasoned argument. Hence, one who makes an apology is an apologist. The two terms have since diverged in meaning.
