Morphology
Peronism = Perón (transparent) = Peron + ism
Formed directly from the name Perón plus the productive suffix '-ism' indicating an ideology or movement, so the derivation is straightforward.
Etymology
Peronism comes from the name Perón, the Argentine leader, plus the ending -ism, which means 'belief' or 'system', like in socialism. So, Peronism means the political movement or system based on his ideas about social justice and workers' rights.
