Morphology
Christian + Scientist
Although the parts 'Christian' and 'scientist' are individually transparent, the phrase is a denominational label: a Christian Scientist is a member of the Christian Science church, not literally a scientist who is Christian. This meaning depends on knowledge of the proper noun 'Christian Science' and cannot be reliably inferred from the literal constituents, so learners will likely be misled.
Etymology
Christian Scientist comes from Mary Baker Eddy, who started a religious movement in the United States called 'Christian Science' in the 1800s. She used Christian to show a link to Jesus and Scientist (from 'Science') to describe a way of using prayer to heal, so a Christian Scientist is someone who follows those teachings and often relies on prayer for health.
