A non-standard or playful term for a philosophy or movement centered on braiding, or artistic emphasis on braided patterns and techniques.
From 'braid' + '-ism' (belief system/movement). This is a constructed word combining the braiding technique with the suffix indicating ideology or practice.
Braidism isn't in most dictionaries because it's more of a joke word—but it shows how English lets us create new '-ism' words on the fly, which is why you can playfully talk about anything from 'cottagecore-ism' to 'procrastination-ism.'
