Morphology
Scientologist = Scientology (transparent) = Scientology + ist
Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-ist' to the name of the religion 'Scientology', so the relation (follower/member) is directly predictable.
Etymology
Scientologist comes from the modern name Scientology, which uses the familiar word science, from a Latin word meaning 'knowledge', and the part -logy meaning 'study', so Scientology suggests 'study of knowledge'. The ending -ist means 'a person who follows or practices', so a Scientologist is someone who belongs to or follows the Church of Scientology.
