Morphology
institutionalism = institutional (transparent) = institution + al + ism
Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ism' to the adjective 'institutional' to denote a doctrine, practice, or ideology.
Etymology
Institutionalism comes from institution (like institute), whose basic idea is 'to set up' or 'create', plus the ending -ism meaning 'a belief or practice'. So institutionalism is the belief or practice of following established organizations and rules, which is why it often prefers stability over change.
