Morphology

recordist = record (transparent) = record + ist

Standard agentive formation from 'record' (to make records); the occupational sense is directly derived.

Etymology

Recordist comes from record ('to write down or make an official copy') and -ist ('a person who does'), so a recordist is a 'person who makes records', which explains why this job is about making official written or audio records of spoken words.
