Calvinism

The Christian religious tradition based upon the doctrines and forms of Christian practice of several Protestant reformers, especially John Calvin, in contrast to Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anabaptism, and Arminianism.

Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the spelling -ism and the unstressed final suffix /ɪzəm/ with calvinism, but none rhymes with it because the stressed vowel and following sounds differ (calvinism is /ˈkælvɪnɪzəm/). Use them to practise the common /ɪzəm/ ending, not as exact rhymes. Beware similar-looking words like galvanism /ˈɡælvənɪzəm/: although close, its vowel after /v/ is /ə/, not /ɪ/, so it is not an exact rhyme either.
