Morphology
intellectualism = intellectual (transparent) = intellect + ual + ism
Formed by the adjective 'intellectual' plus the ideological/doctrinal suffix '-ism', so the meaning follows directly from 'intellectual'.
Etymology
The word intellectualism begins with intellect, the same root as intelligent, which comes from a Latin word meaning 'to understand', and ends with -ism, which means 'belief' or 'system'. So intellectualism is the belief that thinking, reason, and knowledge are important.
