  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Probabilist  \Prob"a*bil*ist\,  n.  [Cf.  F.  probabilists.] 
  1.  One  who  maintains  that  certainty  is  impossible,  and  that 
  probability  alone  is  to  govern  our  faith  and  actions. 
 
  2.  (Casuistry)  One  who  maintains  that  a  man  may  do  that  which 
  has  a  probability  of  being  right  or  which  is  inculcated 
  by  teachers  of  authority,  although  other  opinions  may  seem 
  to  him  still  more  probable.
