Morphology
Calvinism = Calvin (transparent) = Calvin + ism
Formed from the proper name 'Calvin' plus the productive suffix '-ism' meaning 'doctrine or system'; the derivation is morphologically transparent though understanding the referent requires knowledge of the person.
Etymology
The word Calvinism is named after the religious leader Calvin, John Calvin. The ending -ism means 'belief' or 'system', just like in Buddhism, so Calvinism means the set of religious ideas taught by Calvin.
