Surface Forms

charterist positive

Morphology

charterist = charter (transparent) = charter + ist

Formed by adding the productive agentive/relational suffix '-ist' to 'charter', so the adjectival meaning 'relating to or supporting charters' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Charterist comes from charter ('a written paper that gives rights or rules') and the ending -ist (like in artist or activist, meaning 'related to' or 'supporting'). So a charterist idea or policy describes something that supports or comes from a charter, for example rules that give schools more freedom.
