the term naturist seem to mean someone with something to do with nature.
If one found out a naturist often went nude; they would asume it was motivated by the desire to be "like nature". or "natural in nature."
so a nudist is nude for unknown reasons while a naturist is nude because of something to do with their alignment with the word nature
