Morphology

unism = unity (transparent) = uni + ism

Formed from the combining form 'uni-' (one) plus the doctrinal/style suffix '-ism'; a learner who knows 'unity' or 'uni-' will readily infer a doctrine or style emphasizing oneness.

Etymology

Unism is formed from the prefix uni- meaning 'one' and the ending -ism meaning 'a belief or style', the same uni- you see in unit or unite. So in art, unism is a style that aims for a single, whole look where shapes and colours blend into one unified image.
