Morphology
epidemiologist = epidemiology (semi-transparent) = epidemiology + ist
The agentive suffix '-ist' attached to the discipline name 'epidemiology' to denote a person is a regular, transparent derivation.
Etymology
Epidemiologist comes from Greek parts epi- ('upon'), demos ('people') and -logy ('study'), with -ist meaning 'a person who does'. You can even see epi- and demos in epidemic, so an epidemiologist is a person who studies what affects groups of people, like how diseases start and spread.
