köken: henki (“life, state of being alive”) + -ilö. Coined by Finnish physician and translator Wolmar Schildt in 1857. More information Some sources, including NSES, say that Schildt later came to dislike the word due to its ending in -ö (as it, according to him, made the word sound derisive) and tried to replace it with henkile, although without success.
