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 a constructionist can simply mean a builder or construction worker who puts up structures.
