futurism

the term futurism is a modern construction, directly combining the latin root 'futur-' with the greek-derived suffix '-ism'. the latin 'futurus' is the future participle of 'esse' (to be), originating from the pie root bʰuH- meaning 'to become, grow, appear'. the suffix '-ism' entered english via latin from greek '-ismos', which formed nouns of action from verbs. the word was coined in the early 20th century to name an avant-garde artistic and social movement that explicitly rejected the past and worshipped the dynamism and technological promise of the future. thus, the literal 'doctrine of the future' perfectly captures the movement's ideological core, linking the ancient concept of 'what is to come' with a modern systematic ideology.

Structure: futur (future) + ism (doctrine, movement) futur (from latin 'futurus', meaning 'about to be', serving as the root conveying the core concept of 'future'); ism (from greek '-ismos', via latin and french, a suffix forming nouns denoting a distinctive system, theory, or artistic movement).
