Morphology
masochist = masochism (semi-transparent) = masoch + ist
The formation is regular (root + -ist giving an agent), but the root is an eponymic combining form (from a proper name) that is not semantically analyzable by learners.
Etymology
Masochist comes from the name of a writer, Sacher-Masoch, who wrote stories about people who found 'pleasure from pain'. So, a masochist is someone who takes pleasure, often sexual, from their own pain or shame.
