覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Judaism は固有の宗教名なので通常は先頭を大文字にして Judaism と書く。Judah・Jewish と結び付け、語尾の -ism は教義・体系を表すと捉える。単に Jewish culture 全般ではなく、唯一神への信仰や聖典・伝統を含む「ユダヤ教」という宗教体系を指す。
Write Judaism with a capital J because it is the name of a religion. Connect Jud- with Judah and Jewish, then recognize -ism as a suffix used in names of systems, doctrines, or movements. This helps identify Judaism as the religious tradition of the Jewish people. Its central contexts include belief in one God, the Hebrew Bible, Jewish law, worship, festivals, and long traditions of interpretation. Do not use the word as if it meant every aspect of Jewish ethnicity or culture; here it specifically names the religion and its associated practices and teachings.

judaism の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヘブライ語の人名Yehudah（ユダ）に由来し、「神に感謝する」の意。イスラエル十二部族の一つユダ族から宗教名となった。接尾辞-ismはギリシャ語由来で「教義・主義」を表す。関連語：Jewish（ユダヤの）、Judea（ユダヤ地方）。
Judaism entered English through Latin and Greek forms ultimately connected with Hebrew Yehudah, the name Judah. Judah was the name of a biblical figure, a tribe of Israel, and later the kingdom and region associated with the Jewish people. The ending -ism, transmitted through Greek and Latin, forms nouns referring to systems, doctrines, or practices. Judaism therefore developed as the name for the religion and religious tradition associated with the Jews.
