Morphology
interventionist = intervention (transparent) = intervention + ist
Formed from the noun 'intervention' plus the productive agent/ideology suffix '-ist', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word interventionist comes from the verb intervene, made of inter- 'between' and venire 'to come'. So an interventionist approach is one that 'comes between' events and takes action to change what happens.
