Morphology

chimerism = chimera (transparent) = chimera + ism

Derived straightforwardly from 'chimera' + '-ism' to indicate a quality or state of being composite or mixed.

Etymology

Chimerism comes from chimera, the mixed animal of Greek myth, and so the word suggests 'a mix'. That's why chimerism can also describe a blend of different styles, cultures, or elements in art and life.
