Morphology
Redemptorist = Redemptor (semi-transparent) = redemptor + ist
The suffix '-ist' clearly marks membership, but the base 'Redemptor' is a Latin-derived name element unfamiliar to most learners.
Etymology
Redemptorist names a member of a Catholic religious order whose name comes from the Latin redemptor, meaning 'one who buys back', the same root as the English word redeem, which means 'to save' or 'buy back'. That's why a Redemptorist is someone who works to 'save' or help others through missions and parish work.
