Surface Forms
Morphology
dermatologist = dermatology (semi-transparent) = dermat + ology + ist
The word is built on the technical base 'dermatology' plus the agentive suffix '-ist', so the profession is inferable but not fully obvious to an average learner.
Etymology
Dermatologist comes from the Greek first part derm- meaning 'skin' and the ending -ologist meaning 'one who studies', like in biologist. So a dermatologist is a doctor who studies and treats the skin.
