A movement, ideology, or practice emphasizing the fusion or combining of different elements, styles, or political groups.
From fusion plus -ism (ideology/practice). Combines Latin fundere (merge) with the -ism suffix for systematic beliefs.
Jazz fusionism literally changed what people thought music could be—instead of pure jazz OR pure rock, why not revolutionary mixing that breaks all the rules? That attitude powered some of the most innovative music ever made.
