Morphology
anti-Semitism = Semitism (opaque) = anti + Semit + ism
The prefix anti- is clear and productively means 'against', but the base Semitism is specialized and the modern sense referring to hostility toward Jewish people is not directly predictable.
Etymology
The word anti-Semitism comes from anti- meaning 'against' and Semite, a 19th-century term for people from the Middle East that later was used for Jewish people. So, anti-Semitism means being 'against' Jewish people, showing unfair hate or treatment.
