How Socialist
Surface Forms
Morphology
socialist = social (transparent) = social + ist
Formed by the adjective 'social' plus the productive suffix '-ist' to denote a person associated with or an adherent of an ideology; the morphological relation is clear though full interpretation requires knowledge of the political ideology 'socialism'.
Etymology
Socialist comes from social, a word about 'society' or 'people living together', and the ending -ist meaning 'a person who'. So a socialist is someone who believes important things should be owned or shared by the community, which explains the modern political meaning.
