Morphology
interventionist = intervention (transparent) = inter + vent + ion + ist
The word 'interventionist' is clearly derived from 'intervention' with the suffix '-ist' indicating a person involved in or advocating for intervention.
Etymology
The word interventionist comes from intervene (from inter- 'between' + venire 'to come') and -ist 'one who'. So an interventionist in politics is a person who supports stepping into other people's or countries' affairs to try to change the outcome.
