Original entry ↗suffix
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryForms abstract nouns from Greek or Latin bases.
From -ic + -ism, either based directly on the adjective in -ic (as in asceticism, mysticism), or on the verb in -ise (as in anglicism). Some productivity within English, as in witticism (1670s, by analogy with criticism).
