Morphology

globalism = global (transparent) = global + ism

Etymology

Globalism comes from global, which comes from the Latin globus meaning 'sphere' or 'ball' and from the ending -ism meaning 'belief' or 'system'. So, globalism is the belief in a more connected world where countries share trade, culture, and ideas.
