Morphology
denominationalist = denominational (transparent) = denomination + al + ist
Formed by adding the productive agent/adjectival suffix '-ist' to the adjective 'denominational', so the sense is directly derived from 'denomination' → 'denominational' → 'denominationalist'.
Etymology
Denominationalist comes from denomination, which comes from an old word meaning 'name' and is like the word nominate. So denominationalist as an adjective describes something tied to a particular 'named' religious group and often favoring that group's ways.
