Morphology
plagiarism = plagiarize (semi-transparent) = plagiar + ism
If a learner knows 'plagiarize', the meaning 'the act or practice of plagiarizing' is fairly inferable, though the form is not built by a simple one-step affix addition.
Etymology
Plagiarism comes from an old Latin word plagium, which meant 'kidnapping'. That's why plagiarism is like 'kidnapping' someone else's words or ideas — copying them and pretending they are your own.
