republicanism = republican (transparent) = republic + an + ism
The noun is a standard and readily understandable formation meaning the belief, doctrine, or system associated with being republican.
Etymology
Republicanism comes from republic, which comes from the Latin phrase res publica meaning 'public thing' and is the same root as the English word public, while the ending -ism shows a 'belief' or system. So republicanism is the belief in a government that is a 'public' matter, not the private rule of one person.
