  Stundist \Stun"dist\, n. [Russ. shtundist, prob. fr. G. stunde
     hour; -- from their meetings for Bible reading.] (Eccl.
     Hist.)
     One of a large sect of Russian dissenters founded, about
     1860, in the village of Osnova, near Odessa, by a peasant,
     Onishchenko, who had apparently been influenced by a German


     sect settled near there. They zealously practice Bible
     reading and reject priestly dominion and all external rites
     of worship. -- {Stun"dism}, n.
     [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
