Morphology

Buddhist = Buddha (transparent) = Buddha + ist

Formed from the proper name 'Buddha' plus the productive suffix '-ist' meaning 'related to' or 'follower of', which yields a directly inferable adjective.

Etymology

The word Buddhist comes from an old Indian word Buddha, which means 'awakened one' and comes from a root that means 'to wake' or 'know'. So, Buddhist describes things connected to the teachings of that 'awakened one'.
