Morphology
integrationist = integration (transparent) = integrate + ion + ist
Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ist' to the common noun 'integration'; the adjective meaning 'favoring or relating to integration' follows directly from that base.
Etymology
The word integrationist comes from integrate ('bring together' or 'make whole') plus the ending -ist ('one who supports'). So an integrationist policy or approach is one that tries to bring different groups into the same society and make it more whole.
