Surface Forms

publicism singular

publicisms plural

Morphology

publicism = public (semi-transparent) = public + ism

The form public + -ism gives a rough clue to a doctrine or practice about public matters, but the specialized sense 'study or practice of public affairs, journalism, or public policy' is only partly predictable.

Etymology

Publicism combines public ('of the people') and -ism ('a field or practice'), like in journalism or activism. So, publicism can also mean the study or work of public affairs, media, or public policy.
