Morphology

numerologist = numerology (transparent) = numer + ology + ist

The word is transparently formed as 'numerology' + '-ist', meaning a person who practices numerology, even though the base term is specialized.

Etymology

Numerologist comes from the Latin root numerus 'number' plus the parts -logy 'study' and -ist 'person'. So a numerologist is literally a 'person who studies numbers', which is why the word names someone who looks for special or mystical meanings in numbers.
