Morphology

standom = stan (semi-transparent) = stan + dom

The word is formed from the slang base 'stan' plus the noun-forming suffix '-dom', but the collective-community meaning is only partly predictable.

Etymology

Standom comes from the internet slang stan, taken from a popular song called 'Stan' by the rapper Eminem and meaning 'an extreme or very loyal fan'. It adds the ending -dom, which means 'state' or 'group', as in kingdom and fandom, so a standom is the community or 'domain' of devoted fans.
