Morphology

Fourierist = Fourier (transparent) = Fourier + ist

Formed by the productive English suffix '-ist' attached to the proper name 'Fourier', yielding 'relating to or follower of Fourier' which is a standard derivation.

Etymology

Fourierist comes from the name Fourier, the French thinker Charles Fourier, plus the ending -ist, which means 'a follower' or 'someone who supports an idea', just like in artist or pianist. So, something described as Fourierist is 'related to' Fourier's social ideas of communal living and cooperation.
