-ism

-ism is a suffix in many English words, first usage , originally derived from Ancient Greek -ισμός (''-ismos''), reaching English through Latin, via French. It is often used in philosophy to define specific ideologies, and, as such, at times it is used as a noun when referring to a broad range of ideologies in a general sense. The suffix 'ism' qua ism is neutral and therefore bears no connotations associated with any of the many ideologies it has been appended to; such determinations can only be informed by public opinion regarding specific ideologies like ageism, cubeism etc.
According to Merriam–Webster's Dictionary of English Usage it is a belief, attitude, style, etc., that is referred to by a word that ends in the suffix -ism : the act, practice, or process of doing something
: behavior like that of a specified kind of person or thing
: unfair treatment of a group of people who have a particular quality
• act :practice :process / manner of action or behavior characteristic of a (specified) person or thing
• prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a (specified) attribute
• state :condition :property / abnormal state or condition resulting from excess of a (specified) thing or marked by resemblance to (such) a person or thing
• doctrine :theory :religion
• adherence to a system or a class of principles
• characteristic or peculiar feature or trait
• a distinctive doctrine, cause, or theory
• an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or belief

== History of the term ==

The first recorded usage of the suffix ''ism'' as a separate word in its own right was in 1680. By the nineteenth century it was being used by Thomas Carlyle to signify a pre-packaged ideology. It was later used in this sense by such writers as Julian Huxley and George Bernard Shaw.
