Morphology

Spinozist = Spinoza (transparent) = Spinoza + ist

Formed regularly from the proper name 'Spinoza' plus the productive agentive/specialist suffix '-ist', so learners who recognise 'Spinoza' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Spinozist comes from the name Spinoza, the Dutch philosopher, and the ending -ist, like in artist or pianist, which can mean 'related to' or 'in the style of' someone. So a Spinozist idea or view is one that follows Spinoza's philosophy about nature and God.
