Morphology

machinism = machine (transparent) = machin + ism

The sense refers to the practice or skill involving machines, which is directly derived from 'machine' + '-ism' (practice/discipline).

Etymology

Machinism comes from machine and the ending -ism, where -ism shows a 'practice' or 'system'. Think of it as 'machine skill' — the art or practice of designing, building and running machines, which is why the word means the work of mechanical engineering.
