Morphology

Kabbalism = Kabbalah (transparent) = Kabbalah + ism

Formed by the borrowed noun 'Kabbalah' plus the productive English suffix '-ism' meaning 'doctrines or system', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Kabbalism comes from the Hebrew word Kabbalah, which means 'reception' or 'to receive'. Think of it as the 'received' secret teachings of the Jewish mystical tradition, so Kabbalism is the name for those teachings.
