balloonist

[ buh-loo-nist ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

First recorded in 1775–85; balloon + -ist

This strange idea may have been responsible for the efforts made to lay the great balloonist.

The balloonist who can take advantage of these currents is much benefited, especially in a race.

Like a shot he came down, holding his body rigid and straight as a stick, for he knew how to fall into water, did that balloonist.

Down shot the balloonist and down more slowly settled the collapsed bag, yet not so slowly that there was any time to spare.

As Tom and the balloonist strolled up the walk to the handsome house Andy Foger passed them.
