Morphology

culturist = culture (transparent) = culture + ist

Directly formed from 'culture' (sense: arts/customs or physical culture) + agentive '-ist', so the meaning 'person promoting or interested in culture' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word culturist comes from cult- (like culture and cultivate) and -ist meaning 'one who'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone who 'cultivates' taste, art, or health, so a culturist can be a person who promotes culture or healthy living.
