Morphology

Trinitarianism = Trinitarian (semi-transparent) = trinity + arian + ism

The term 'Trinitarianism' is built from 'Trinitarian' and '-ism', indicating a doctrine or belief system, but its specific theological meaning may not be immediately clear to all learners.

Etymology

Trinitarianism comes from tri- meaning 'three', the same root you see in triangle, triple and trio. So Trinitarianism is the belief that God is three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, yet still one God.
