Morphology
transcendentalism = transcendental (semi-transparent) = transcend + al + ism
Formally formed by adding the productive suffix '-ism' to 'transcendental'; however, the resulting term denotes a specific philosophical movement and carries specialized sense beyond a simple adjectival-to-noun derivation.
Etymology
Transcendentalism comes from the Latin part trans- meaning 'beyond' and the idea in transcend meaning 'to go past or climb over', so it pictures going above ordinary limits. That's why the movement called transcendentalism says truth and meaning come from inner feeling and spirit, not only from facts and things you can see.
