Morphology
neuroscientist = neuroscience (semi-transparent) = neuro + science + ist
The word is built transparently from a specialized base, but the combining form 'neuro-' is less immediately accessible to many learners.
Etymology
Neuroscientist begins with neuro-, a root that means 'nerve', and ends with scientist, meaning 'a person who studies'. So a neuroscientist is a scientist who studies the nerves and the brain.
