Morphology

Formed by the noun 'zombie' plus the productive suffix '-ism' indicating a doctrine/obsession, so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Zombiism is made from zombie and the ending -ism, where -ism means 'a belief or craze'. Zombie comes from Caribbean and West African words for a spirit or a person brought back to a lifeless state, so zombiism means the popular interest or obsession with zombies in movies, books, and games.
