The condition or quality of having a short, broad skull; the state of being brachycephalic.
From brachycephalic + -ism (suffix denoting a condition or system), creating an abstract noun for the trait itself.
Adding '-ism' to scientific terms was 19th-century anthropology's favorite move, creating a whole vocabulary of '-isms' that made skull shapes sound like philosophical positions.
