👉 A proverbiologist is a scientist who studies and interprets the meaning of words, phrases, or sentences based on their original context in the language.

Proverbiologists are often employed by linguists, literary scholars, and cultural anthropologists, as they contribute to our understanding of the human experience through language and its interactions
