Morphology

tolerationism = toleration (transparent) = tolerate + ion + ism

The noun 'toleration' (tolerate + -ion) receives the ideological/doctrinal suffix '-ism', producing a straightforward meaning 'the doctrine or practice of toleration'.

Etymology

Tolerationism comes from toleration, which links back to Latin tolerare meaning 'to bear' or 'put up with', and the ending -ism meaning 'a belief or system'. You can also see the same root in tolerate and tolerance, so tolerationism means the belief or practice of allowing and accepting beliefs or ways different from one's own.
