Morphology
solipsist = solipsism (semi-transparent) = solips + ist
Morphologically regular (from 'solipsism' + '-ist') but the sense is metaphorically extended to mean a self-centered person rather than a literal philosophical believer.
Etymology
Solipsist comes from the Latin words solus 'alone' and ipse 'self'. That is why solipsist can also describe a very selfish person who acts as if they are 'alone' and ignores other people.
