Pronunciation & Spelling
Eclecticism ends in -cism, pronounced /sɪzəm/. Criticism, skepticism, mysticism, and ostracism share that final /sɪzəm/ sound but are stressed on the first syllable, so they do not fully rhyme with eclecticism. Fascism is a spelling lookalike: its -cism is pronounced /ʃɪzəm/. Eclectic matches eclecticism's stressed second syllable, though its ending is /k/ instead of /sɪzəm/.
