Morphology
motorcyclist = motorcycle (transparent) = motor + cycle + ist
Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-ist' to the clear base 'motorcycle', yielding 'a person who rides or operates a motorcycle'.
Etymology
Motorcyclist comes from motor ('move'), cycle ('wheel', as in bicycle), and the ending -ist ('person who does something'). So a motorcyclist is simply a person who rides a motor-powered two-wheeled machine.
