Morphology
narcissist = narcissism (transparent) = narciss + ist
Formed from 'narcissism' with the agentive suffix '-ist' meaning 'a person characterized by', so the meaning is directly predictable from the base word.
Etymology
The word narcissist comes from the Greek myth hero Narcissus, who fell in love with his own 'reflection' in a pool of water. So a narcissist today is a person who is too interested in or proud of themselves, like someone who always looks at themselves in a mirror.
