Is the word Nazi from the root of Nazirite?

No...the term Nazi was essentially a slang term that referred to someone who was a member of the National Socialist German Worker's Party. The term Nazirite is a Hebrew word which root means to consecrate one's self to God. For example, Samson was a Nazarite from birth. His vow to the Lord sworn first by his mother was that no razor would ever touch his head and he would never take strong drink. His life was to be one of service to the Lord. The root word for Nazarite is Nazar which means to dedicate, consecrate or separate. There is absolutely no correlation between the word Nazi and Nazirite.

What was John the Baptist's occupation?

The Bible doesn't say what his occupation is. It is very likely he didn't have one because his description in the Bible suggests that he was a nazirite. This was the name given to a Jew set aside for a particular purpose - to do God's work. Nazirites wore animal skins (as did John) and did not cut their hair (John didn't either) and ate simple food (John ate locusts and wild honey). The other famous Nazirite worth a mention was Samson, the man of great strength who lost it after his hair was cut by Delilah's servant. In losing his hair he also lost his strength - by being a broken man because of his breaking the vows needed for the calling of a nazirite.
