Morphology
collectivism = collective (transparent) = collect + ive + ism
Formed from 'collective' + the productive noun-forming suffix '-ism', yielding the doctrine or system related to collective practices.
Etymology
Collectivism comes from the word collect meaning 'gather' and the ending -ism meaning 'a belief or system'. So collectivism describes a system where things like farms or factories are gathered into shared ownership and run by the group or the state instead of by individuals.
