Morphology

unsectarianism = unsectarian (transparent) = un + sect + arian + ism

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ism' to the adjective 'unsectarian', yielding the 'quality or principle of not being sectarian'.

Etymology

Unsectarianism breaks into un- meaning 'not', sect meaning 'a group', and -ism meaning 'a belief'. So unsectarianism is the belief in 'not favoring any one group', which is why it means being open to people from all backgrounds.
