Morphology
narcism = narcissism (semi-transparent) = narciss + ism
This form is a shortened/clipped variant of 'narcissism' with the same core meaning, but the uncommon spelling and potential confusion with 'narc' reduce immediate clarity for learners.
Etymology
Narcism comes from the story of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection. It shares the same root as narcissist and means 'self-love' that shuts out other people.
