Morphology

mental + telepathist

The meaning is directly derivable from the parts: 'mental' (pertaining to the mind) modifies 'telepathist' (someone who transmits or receives thoughts), so a learner who knows both words can infer a person who engages in mind-to-mind thought transmission or brain-based telepathy. This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase and follows cross-linguistically common modifier+head logic, making it immediately interpretable.

Etymology

Mental telepathist paints the picture of a person whose mental power sends a thought straight into another person's head without words or touch. So it means 'a person who claims to communicate thoughts directly from mind to mind without using normal senses'.
