Morphology

anesthesiologist = anesthesia (semi-transparent) = anesthesi + ologist

The word is built from the medical combining form 'anesthesi-' and the specialist suffix '-ologist', so the general idea is recoverable, but the term is specialized.

Etymology

Anesthesiologist comes from Greek parts: an- meaning 'without', esthesia meaning 'feeling', and -ologist meaning 'specialist', like in biologist. So an anesthesiologist is a specialist who makes sure a patient has no feeling and no pain during surgery.
