Morphology
physiologist = physiology (transparent) = physiology + ist
Agentive suffix 'ist' added to the noun 'physiology' yields 'physiologist' meaning 'a person who studies physiology', a straightforward derivation.
Etymology
Physiologist starts with physio-, a Greek root that means 'nature' or 'body' and appears in words like physical, and ends with -logist, which means 'one who studies' as in biologist, so a physiologist is someone who studies how bodies and their parts work.
