-ism

-ism is a suffix in many English words, first usage , originally derived from Ancient Greek -ισμός (-ismos), reaching English through Latin, via French. It is often used in philosophy to define specific ideologies, and, as such, at times it is used as a noun when referring to a broad range of ideologies in a general sense. The suffix 'ism' qua ism is neutral and therefore bears no connotations associated with any of the many ideologies it has been appended to; such determinations can only be informed by public opinion regarding specific ideologies like ageism, cubism etc. According to Merriam–Webster's Dictionary of English Usage it is a belief, attitude, style, etc., that is referred to by a word that ends in the suffix -ism : the act, practice, or process of doing something

• act :practice :process <criticism> <plagiarism> / manner of action or behavior characteristic of a (specified) person or thing <animalism>

• prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a (specified) attribute <racism> <sexism>

    You come on over right through my front door
    Strapped with all your baggage
    What you bringin' that for
    Don't want no disrespect cuz we all know the score
    But you need to put time in
    At the common sense store
    Yes yes y all you're brain washed all in your head
    Let's make one thing crystal clear
    We don't want no ism here
    How you say you hate me and you're not ashamed
    It's just insecurity that's causing you pain
    Well if you can't get past that we are not the same
    Then realize that ism is a part of the blame
    Racism - we don't want it here
    Sexism - we don't need it here
    Fascism - we don't want it here
    Keep that ism out of my ear
    Terrorism - we don't want it here
    Leftism - we don't need it here
    Fakeism - we don't want it here
