Scientist - 1) an expert in one or several areas of a science working in the system of scientific knowledge. As a rule, scientists call people who use the scientific method in their research. The concepts of “scientist” and “science” have come a long way in development and their understanding in different societies cultures can vary significantly.

In the vernacular language or in jargon, the word "scientist" (a person who has a certain everyday experience, most often negative) also has an ironic or derogatory connotation. So, children often call names of those who stand out from the general environment as “professors” or “some scientists”, for example: “associate professors”.

2) The one who has been taught is knowledgeable (initially the main meaning).
