Morphology

solarist + community

Although 'solarist' is rare, its structure is transparently analyzable as 'solar' + the agentive/affiliative suffix '-ist' (someone concerned with or supporting solar energy), and 'community' clearly means a group of people. A B1 learner who knows the constituent parts (or recognizes the common '-ist' pattern) can readily infer 'solarist community' as a group dedicated to solar energy, a compositional meaning found across many languages.

Etymology

The term solarist community may come from joining solar, meaning the sun, and community, meaning a group of people. Imagine neighbors meeting under their shared solar panels and helping each other, and that's why solarist community means 'a group that supports or uses solar power'.
