Morphology

trigonometrician = trigonometric (transparent) = trigonometry + ic + ian

The adjective 'trigonometric' (trigonometry + -ic) is a clear base, and adding the productive occupational suffix '-ian' yields 'trigonometrician' meaning a specialist.

Etymology

Trigonometrician comes from parts that mean 'triangle' and 'measure', the root tri- meaning 'three' (think triangle) and the ending -ician that names a person, as in musician. So, a trigonometrician is a person who studies or uses measurements of triangles and angles.
