Morphology
demographist = demography (transparent) = demography + ist
Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-ist' to 'demography', so a learner knowing 'demography' can infer 'a person who studies demography'.
Etymology
Demographist comes from the Greek parts demo- meaning 'people' and -graphy meaning 'writing' or 'study', and you can see the same roots in democracy and photograph. So a demographist is a person who studies and records groups of people — their size, how crowded they are, and how they change over time.
