Morphology
postmodernism = postmodern (transparent) = post + modern + post + ism
Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ism' to 'postmodern'; learners who know 'post-' and 'modern' can infer the general meaning.
Etymology
Postmodernism begins with post- meaning 'after' and the rest comes from modern meaning 'new' or 'now'. So, postmodernism is a movement that came after modern ideas and often mixes different styles and uses irony to question old rules.
