Morphology
theologist = theology (transparent) = theolog + ist
The word is built directly from theology plus the agentive suffix -ist, so a learner who knows theology can usually infer the meaning.
Etymology
The word theologist comes from the Greek parts theos 'god' and -logy 'study', the same parts you see in theology and in words like biology. So a theologist is someone who studies 'god' or religious ideas.
