where as a naturist is something quite different again....
Well, there is the bit after the Barrow where Frodo & Co go au naturel, and a bit in the Lost Road.......

'Naturalist' in the Attenborough sense is simply the 18th-19 century word for the polymath scientist of nature, before the subdivision into botanist, zoologist, biologist, even geologist and paleontologist. Darwin was a 'naturalist.' As was Dr Doolittle.
