insurrectionist = insurrection (transparent) = insurrection + ist
The agentive suffix '-ist' clearly forms 'a person who takes part in an insurrection', so the meaning is directly derived from 'insurrection'.
Etymology
The word insurrectionist comes from Latin parts in- and surgere, which together mean 'to rise up'. Think of the English word surge, a sudden rise; an insurrectionist is someone who 'rises up' against the government or those in power.
