Morphology
constructionist = construction (transparent) = construct + ion + ist
The word is clearly derived from 'construction' with the suffix '-ist' indicating a person or relating to a field.
Etymology
Constructionist comes from construct, from Latin construere meaning 'to build', and the ending -ist. So constructionist used as an adjective describes things that are about building or the construction industry.
