Morphology
telepathist = telepath (semi-transparent) = tele + path + ist
The word is straightforwardly built from 'telepath' plus the agentive suffix '-ist', meaning a person who is a telepath.
Etymology
Telepathist comes from the parts tele- meaning 'far', like in telephone, and path (from pathos) meaning 'feeling', with -ist for 'person'. So, a telepathist is someone who says they can send or receive thoughts or feelings from far away.
