Morphology
neuroanatomist = neuroanatomy (semi-transparent) = neuro + anatomy + ist
The word is transparently formed from neuroanatomy plus the agentive suffix -ist, but the specialized scientific role is not fully obvious to a beginner.
Etymology
Neuroanatomist joins neuro- (a root that means 'nerve') and anatomist (from anatomy, a word that means 'to cut up' so people could study the body's parts). So a neuroanatomist is literally a 'person who studies the parts of nerves', which is why the word means a scientist who studies the structure of the nervous system.
