Morphology

Esperantist = Esperanto (transparent) = Esperanto + ist

Formed from the language name 'Esperanto' plus the productive agent/relational suffix '-ist', so the relation to the language is directly clear.

Etymology

Esperantist comes from the language name Esperanto, which was chosen to mean 'one who hopes' in that language, from esperi 'to hope'. So Esperantist as an adjective describes things connected with the Esperanto language or its movement.
