Morphology
physicist = physics (transparent) = physic + ist
Agentive formation from the field name 'physics' + '-ist' yields 'a person who studies physics', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Physicist comes from physics, which comes from the Greek word physis meaning 'nature', and the ending -ist means 'someone who studies', while you can see the same root in physical; so a physicist is a person who studies the basic rules of nature.
