Morphology

charterist = charter (transparent) = charter + ist

A straightforward agentive formation: 'charter' + '-ist' yields 'a supporter or advocate of charters', which is a transparent, productive pattern.

Etymology

Charterist is formed from charter ('a written paper that allows or gives rights') plus the ending -ist (like in activist, meaning 'a person who supports'). So a charterist is someone who supports charter schools and school choice.
