Morphology
meteorologist = meteorology (semi-transparent) = meteor + ology + ist
The word is a regular agent noun built from the technical base word 'meteorology', but that base is not likely to be familiar to many learners.
Etymology
The word meteorologist comes from meteor, a word for 'things in the sky', and the ending -logist, like in biologist, which means 'one who studies'. So a meteorologist is a person who studies the sky and the weather and makes forecasts.
