Morphology
metallurgist = metallurgy (transparent) = metal + urgy + ist
Formed by the productive agentive suffix '-ist' added to 'metallurgy', yielding 'a person who practices or studies metallurgy', a directly inferable meaning.
Etymology
The word metallurgist comes from metal and the root -urgy meaning 'work', with -ist meaning 'person'. So a metallurgist is literally someone who 'works with metals', which matches their job of studying, testing, and improving metal materials.
