collector

noun koh-lehk-syoh-NEES-tah Rare

Usage Note

Coleccionista is a common-gender noun (el/la coleccionista), so only the article marks biological gender. It refers to someone who systematically collects objects (coleccionista de arte, coleccionista de sellos). The verb is coleccionar; the noun colección refers to the collection itself. An enthusiast who gathers things casually may be called aficionado rather than coleccionista.

Examples

"Es una coleccionista de arte moderno."

Natural Translation
