Morphology
fascist = fascism (semi-transparent) = fasc + ist
The suffix '-ist' indicates a person or characteristic related to 'fascism', but the root 'fasc' is not a standalone English word.
Etymology
The word fascist comes from the Italian fascio, which means 'bundle', and from the Latin fascis also meaning 'bundle'. In ancient Rome a 'bundle' of rods around an axe was a sign of state power and unity, and 20th-century leaders used that image to show strong, forced unity, so fascist now describes strict, nationalistic rule by one authority.
