Morphology
Egyptologist = Egyptology (semi-transparent) = Egypt + ology + ist
The word is built in a regular way from 'Egyptology' plus '-ist' to mean a specialist in that field.
Etymology
Egyptologist comes from Egypt and the ending -ologist, which means 'one who studies'. Like in biologist or psychologist, it names a person who studies something, so an Egyptologist is someone who studies ancient Egypt and its objects.
