Morphology
embryologist = embryology (transparent) = embryo + logy + ist
The word is transparently formed from 'embryology' plus '-ist', meaning a person who specializes in that field.
Etymology
The word embryologist comes from embryo, a Greek word meaning 'growing inside', and the ending -logist, the same as in biologist and psychologist, which means 'one who studies'. So an embryologist is a scientist who studies embryos, the very early stages of life before birth.
