Morphology
judgmentalism = judgmental (transparent) = judgment + al + ism
Formed from the adjective 'judgmental' plus the productive suffix '-ism' indicating a tendency, so the relation is directly inferable.
Etymology
Judgmentalism comes from judgment 'a decision about someone' plus the ending -ism 'a habit or way of thinking'. So it means the habit of making quick or harsh decisions about people, which is why we use it for being too quick to criticize others.
