angiologist singular
angiologists plural

Morphology

angiologist = angiology (opaque) = angio + log + ist

The word is based on the technical form 'angiology' plus '-ist', but the combining forms are unlikely to be transparent to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Angiologist comes from angio- 'vessel' and -logist 'specialist', like in cardiologist and biologist. So an angiologist is a doctor who studies and treats blood vessels.
