Morphology

impersonalism = impersonal (transparent) = im + personal + ism

The suffix '-ism' is commonly used to denote a doctrine or belief, making the transition from 'impersonal' to 'impersonalism' clear.

Etymology

Impersonalism comes from the prefix im- meaning 'not' and personal from person meaning 'person' or 'individual'. So impersonalism is the idea that the universe or a god is 'not a person' and has no personal will.
