cosmologist = cosmology (semi-transparent) = cosmo + log + y + ist
The word is transparently formed from 'cosmology' plus '-ist', but the specialized scientific base makes it less obvious for many learners.
Etymology
The word cosmologist comes from the Greek root cosmos, meaning 'order' or 'world', and the ending -logy, meaning 'study', as in biology or geology. So a cosmologist is someone who studies the whole universe, its origin and structure.
