Morphology

urologist = urology (semi-transparent) = urology + ist

Formed by the regular addition of '-ist' to the noun 'urology' to denote a specialist, a standard and clear derivation.

Etymology

Urologist begins with uro-, from a Greek word meaning 'urine', and ends with -logist, the same part you see in biologist that means 'one who studies'. So a urologist is a doctor who studies and treats the body parts that make and remove 'urine'.
