Pronunciation & Spelling
All six share the spelling ending -alist, like moralist, but none rhymes with /ˈmɔrəlɪst/ because their stressed vowels differ. The closest sound matches are pluralist /ˈplʊrəlɪst/ and muralist /ˈmjʊrəlɪst/, which repeat the final /rəlɪst/; naturalist /ˈnætʃərəlɪst/ also has that ending. Capitalist /ˈkæpɪtəlɪst/, socialist /ˈsoʊʃəlɪst/, and journalist /ˈdʒɜːrnəlɪst/ are more distant -alist lookalikes.
