I spent a class going over some words ending in -ism or -ist, words such as 'capitalism' and 'theist'.
Afterwards, I got to wondering how many such words there are in English.
It turns out that there are plenty.
morewords.com lists 887 words ending in -ism and 1201 words ending in -ist. There are more ending in -ist because of words like 'list' or 'mist'.
