Morphology
antiestablishmentarianism = antiestablishmentarian (semi-transparent) = anti + establish + ment + arian + ism
Adding -ism to antiestablishmentarian is a regular derivation, but the resulting doctrine sense is somewhat specialized rather than fully predictable.
Etymology
The word antiestablishmentarianism breaks into parts: anti- meaning 'against', establishment meaning 'the people in power or the usual system', plus -arian (as in vegetarian) meaning 'person' and -ism meaning 'a belief or movement'. So, antiestablishmentarianism is the belief or movement of people who are 'against' the established order.
