Shakerism = Shaker (transparent) = Shaker + ism

The use of '-ism' to name a style or philosophy derived from a group's practices is a regular extension of the 'beliefs/practices' sense and thus predictable.

Shakerism also means a style of design named after the Shakers, whose furniture was plain, useful, and carefully made. So Shakerism in design means 'simple, useful craft' with clean lines and no extra decoration.
