Morphology

supremacist = supremacy (transparent) = supreme + acy + ist

The agentive suffix '-ist' added to the noun 'supremacy' (from 'supreme') yields 'one who supports or practices supremacy', a meaning directly derivable from the components.

Etymology

Supremacist comes from supreme, which means 'highest', and the part super- means 'above', while the ending -ist means 'one who believes or supports'. So a supremacist is someone who thinks their group is 'above' or 'better' than others and tries to make it the 'most powerful'.
