覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
通常は Zionism と大文字で書き、Zion「シオン」＋思想・運動を表す -ism と分ける。イスラエルの地にユダヤ人の民族的故郷を確立・維持することを支持する思想・運動を指す。政治的立場や歴史的形態は多様なので、講義・研究・報道では支持者や時代、文脈を明示して中立的に扱う。
Separate Zionism into Zion and -ism. Zion is a biblical place-name that became a symbol of Jerusalem and the Jewish homeland, while -ism marks a doctrine, movement, or system of ideas. This structure points to the word’s central historical meaning: a movement supporting a Jewish national homeland in the Land of Israel and, after Israel’s establishment, its continued existence. Remember that Zionism is an umbrella term rather than one completely uniform position. In academic or public discussion, note the period, speaker, and political, cultural, or religious variety intended, and normally capitalize the word.

zionism の語源・成り立ち Etymology
19世紀ドイツ語で造語され、ヘブライ語の「Zion」に接尾辞「-ism」が結合しました。聖地シオンが故郷の象徴となり、その地への帰還と建国運動を指す意味への繋がりが明確です。関連語は「Zion」「realism」です。
Zionism was formed in late nineteenth-century European usage, particularly from German Zionismus, by combining Zion with the ideological suffix -ism. Zion comes through Greek and Latin from Hebrew Tsiyyon, originally a biblical place-name associated with Jerusalem. Over time, Zion became a broader symbol of the Jewish homeland. The new formation named the modern movement advocating Jewish national restoration in the historic Land of Israel. In standard English, both Zion and Zionism are normally capitalized.
