Morphology

registrant = register (transparent) = register + ant

Agentive noun formed from the verb 'register' plus '-ant', meaning 'a person who registers', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

The word registrant comes from the common word register and the ending -ant. It comes from a root meaning 'to record' or 'make a list', so a registrant is someone whose name is officially written on a list and who may get certain rights or benefits because they are recorded.
