The behavior, attitudes, or characteristics of a cad; dishonorable or ungentlemanly conduct.
From cad + -ism (system or practice suffix). Rare formation showing how any noun can become an ideology or practice through the -ism suffix.
Cadism as a word is delightfully rare—English lets you turn almost any vice into an '-ism,' creating philosophical-sounding terms for everyday bad behavior.
