Morphology
anti-traditionalism = traditionalism (transparent) = anti + tradition + al + ism
The word is directly formed by adding anti- to 'traditionalism', so the opposition meaning is easy to infer.
Etymology
The word anti-traditionalism breaks into three parts: anti- meaning 'against', tradition meaning 'custom' or 'something passed down', and -ism meaning 'a belief or practice'. So anti-traditionalism is the belief or practice of being 'against' traditional customs, which explains its modern meaning.
