Morphology

moviedom = movie (transparent) = movie + dom

Formed by 'movie' + the suffix '-dom' meaning domain/realm; the sense 'the world or community of movies' follows directly.

Etymology

Moviedom joins movie with the ending -dom, like in kingdom, where -dom means a 'place' or 'world' of something. So moviedom is the 'world' or community of movies and the people who make them.
