Morphology

elementalist = elemental (transparent) = element + al + ist

Derived from 'elemental' + '-ist'; in fantasy the agentive meaning 'one who uses or controls elements' is a straightforward extension.

Etymology

Elementalist is built from element ('basic part', as in earth, air, fire, water) and -alist ('a person who does or believes something'), so in stories an elementalist is a person who uses or controls those basic natural forces.
