Morphology
participant = participate (transparent) = participate + ant
The noun is a regular agent nominalization from the verb 'participate' using the productive suffix '-ant', so learners who know 'participate' can predict 'participant'.
Etymology
Participant comes from older words that mean 'part' and 'to take', so it is like the English word part — a participant is someone who takes a 'part' in an activity or event.
