The quality, state, or practice of being goblin-like; mischievous behavior or a philosophy/ideology associated with goblins.
Formed from 'goblin' plus the suffix '-ism' (meaning a distinctive doctrine, system, or practice). The '-ism' suffix creates nouns that describe ideologies, conditions, or systems.
The '-ism' suffix is one of the most powerful in English—we use it to create 'capitalism,' 'environmentalism,' and 'romanticism'—so adding it to 'goblin' humorously suggests that goblin traits are an actual philosophy or way of life!
