What Does Jihadist Mean?

The word 'Jihadist' does not exist in Islam nor Arabic. The word was coined up by the media:

The second example is certain categorizations of Muslims with expressions manufactured by some in the media that have no comparison in the Arabic language or Islam! A glaring example is "Jihadist" which is another made up flavour of what the media used to call the "mujahideen" in Afghanistan when they were supported by the CIA to freedom fight the Russian occupation in the 1980s. Jihadist should be a translation of an Arabic word pronounced "Jihady" only there is no such a word in either Arabic or Islam... [The Lies About Muhammad - Mustafa Zayed, 2010, p.18-19]
