Morphology
cinematographer = cinematograph (opaque) = cinema + graph + er
The word is formed with the agentive suffix -er, but the modern profession meaning depends on the historical term 'cinematograph' and is not directly recoverable from the visible parts for most learners.
Etymology
The word cinematographer comes from cinema, from a Greek word meaning 'movement', and the ending -grapher, like in photographer, which means 'one who records'. So, a cinematographer is literally someone who 'records movement', which is why they control camera work and lighting to create a film's look.
