Surface Forms

Morphology

human-rightism = human + right (transparent) = human + right + ism

Formed by the clear compound 'human + right' with the productive suffix '-ism' meaning an ideology or movement, so the meaning 'support of human rights' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word human-rightism is made from human ('people'), right ('something fair people should have') and the suffix -ism ('a belief or movement'), like in activism. So human-rightism means the belief in and active support for everyone's human rights.
