The practice or principle of removing words or passages considered offensive, indecent, or objectionable from texts, named after Thomas Bowdler.
From Thomas Bowdler plus the suffix '-ism' (denoting a practice or principle), creating a noun that captures both the person and the practice of over-censoring literature.
Bowdlerism is a perfect example of how language can preserve criticism through a person's name—to call something 'Bowdlerism' is to immediately label it as misguided censorship, which is ironic since Bowdler thought he was improving literature.
