Morphology
Hellenism = Hellenic (transparent) = hellen + ism
Formed from the combining form 'Hellen-' (referring to Greek culture) plus the productive suffix '-ism', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Hellenism comes from the Greek name Hellas for 'Greece' and the ending -ism, which means a 'system' or way of thinking. So, Hellenism means the culture, ideas, and style of ancient Greece, especially when these spread to other lands.
