Morphology

diffusionist = diffusion (transparent) = diffusion + ist

The suffix '-ist' forms a specialist/agent meaning ('one who studies or works with diffusion'), which is a regular and transparent formation from 'diffusion'.

Etymology

Diffusionist comes from diffuse ('to pour out' or 'to spread') and -ist ('a person'). A scientific diffusionist studies how heat, gases, or tiny particles move and spread, like a liquid pouring into a room.
