Morphology
Judaism = Jew (transparent) = juda + ism
The suffix '-ism' productively marks a system of beliefs or religion, and the base refers to the Jewish people, so learners who know 'Jew' can infer 'Judaism' as the religion of Jews.
Etymology
Judaism comes from the Hebrew name Judah, also spelled Yehudah, which was the name of a person, a tribe and a region in the Bible and originally meant 'praised'. The ending -ism means 'belief' or 'practice', so Judaism is the 'beliefs and way of life' of the Jewish people today.
