It is a compound word. Somna means sleep, ambulate means walk. And that's what a somnambulist does - sleep walks. The suffix is 'ist', which means 'one who performs a designated act' so the somnabulist is the one who sleep walks.

Latin root “somnus” means, “sleep. “ambulare”, which means, "to walk”.
