Morphology
diagnostician = diagnostic (transparent) = diagnostic + ian
Formed by a standard noun-forming suffix for specialists added to 'diagnostic', so the meaning 'specialist who diagnoses' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Diagnostician comes from Greek parts dia- 'through' and gnosis 'knowledge', the same root as diagnose and diagnosis. So a diagnostician is a specialist who looks 'through' the signs and uses knowledge to find what disease a person has.
