Morphology
rhinologist = rhinology (semi-transparent) = rhin + ology + ist
The researcher meaning follows naturally from 'rhinology' plus '-ist', but the term remains specialized rather than fully transparent.
Etymology
The word rhinologist comes from the Greek root rhino- meaning 'nose' (as in rhinoceros) and the ending -logist meaning 'one who studies'. So a rhinologist is a scientist who studies how the nose works and the problems that affect it.
