Morphology
Marxism = Marx (transparent) = Marx + ism
The suffix '-ism' denotes a theory or ideology, which is clear when attached to a proper noun like 'Marx'.
Etymology
Marxism is named after the thinker Karl Marx, and the ending -ism means 'belief' or 'system', just like in socialism and capitalism. So, Marxism is the set of political and economic ideas or a 'system' that comes from Marx.
