Morphology
Impressionism = impression (transparent) = impress + ion + ism
The suffix '-ism' productively forms names of movements or doctrines from the noun 'impression', so the meaning 'art movement based on impressions' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Impressionism comes from the French word impression, meaning 'a first feeling' or 'a mark', and it shares the same root as the English word impress. So Impressionist painters tried to show the quick 'impression' of light and color rather than exact detail.
