Morphology

astrologist = astrology (semi-transparent) = astro + log + ist

For a learner who knows 'astrology', adding '-ist' straightforwardly yields 'a person who practices or studies astrology'.

Etymology

Astrologist comes from the Greek parts astron 'star' and logos 'study', with -ist meaning a person. So, an astrologist is a person who 'studies the stars' to try to understand or predict events.
