Morphology

fruitarianism = fruitarian (transparent) = fruit + arian + ism

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ism' to 'fruitarian' to indicate a doctrine or lifestyle, a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Fruitarianism is built from the simple word fruit and the ending -arianism, the same ending you see in vegetarianism, which marks a way of eating or a 'belief' about diet. So fruitarianism means the practice of eating only or mostly 'fruit', just as vegetarianism is a way of eating that avoids meat.
