Morphology

mascotry = mascot (semi-transparent) = mascot + ry

The meaning is a straightforward formation from 'mascot' + '-ry' (practice or collection), but '-ry' in this sense is relatively rare and the word is uncommon, so learners may not reliably infer it.

Etymology

Mascotry comes from the word mascot, which itself comes from the French mascotte meaning 'lucky charm'. So Mascotry is the practice or activity of using mascots—people or figures that stand for a team or event and were once thought to bring good luck.
