Morphology
parliamentarianism = parliamentarian (transparent) = parliament + arian + ism
Built from 'parliament' + the productive suffix '-arian' (relating to or supporter of parliament) with the further suffix '-ism' to denote a system or doctrine, so the meaning is directly derivable.
Etymology
Parliamentarianism comes from parliament, a word from an old verb meaning 'to speak', because a parliament is a place where people meet and speak together, and the ending -ism means 'a system or practice'. So parliamentarianism can mean the system where elected representatives in a parliament form and control the government.
