Morphology
Puseyism = Pusey (transparent) = Pusey + ism
Formed by a proper name (Pusey) plus the productive suffix '-ism' denoting a doctrine or movement; the meaning directly follows that pattern.
Etymology
Puseyism comes from the name of Edward Bouverie Pusey, a leader of the Oxford Movement in the Church of England, plus the ending -ism, which means 'a system of belief'. So Puseyism means the religious teachings and practices that Pusey supported.
