Morphology

distributionist = distribution (semi-transparent) = distribute + ion + ist

The form clearly means 'relating to distribution' plus the adjective suffix '-ist', but the economic-theory sense is somewhat specialized.

Etymology

Distributionist comes from the verb distribute, which means 'to give out' or 'spread around'. So distributionist policies are about spreading property and resources more widely among people.
