Morphology
antifeminist = feminist (transparent) = anti + femin + ist
The word is clearly formed by adding anti- to feminist, and the opposition meaning is fully predictable from the base word.
Etymology
Antifeminist combines anti- ('against') and feminist, where feminist comes from words meaning 'woman' or 'female' and refers to support for women's rights. So an antifeminist is a person who is against feminism and opposes equal rights for women.
